Colonel W. D. O’Connor, a respected figure in the Artillery with over 33 years of service, has announced his retirement from the command of Limerick’s city militia. The news leaves the position vacant, with expectations that Colonel W. Bentley will assume the role as the new commander of the Limerick Artillery. The impending appointment of Bentley will mark a new era in the leadership of the militia and a continuation of the legacy established by Colonel O’Connor during his tenure.
