Kerry who was killed in action in Spain. With printed signatures of Generalissimo Franco and Eoin O'Duffy. 27 men from Tralee were among a group of 84 Irish volunteers who sailed from Liverpool to Lisbon on the SS Aguila. The seven were Eamon A. Horan, a member of Tralee Urban Council, Manus O'Donnell from Bridge Street, Dan Chute from Boherbee, together with four other men - Anthony Fitzgerald, J. Broderick, Christy Halloran, and George O'Leary - from Cloonmore Cottages. They arrived in Portugal on January 9, 1937. After a two day march the Irish Brigade arrived for their first taste of war at Madrid. Press reports noted two men - Dan Chute and Tom Hyde - were killed ''in fierce fighting'' on their first day at the Madrid Front. Chute, whose late father owned a public house on Boherbee, was an only son. His mother received a telegram from General O'Duffy: ''GRIEVED TO INFORM YOU YOUR SON DAN KILLED IN ACTION ON MADRID FRONT, FEB. 19TH.'' ''Tom Hyde and Daniel Chute were two brave soldiers,'' Captain Liam Walsh, the Secretary of the Irish Crusade against Communism, declared in a statement issued to the press ''My boy is an only son who went to fight for Christ,'' Chute's mother told The Kerryman. ''Although there is a load on my heart, I offer him to Christ for Whom he fought.'' Later it was discovered that the two men were actually killed by ''friendly fire.'' A bandera of Franco's soldiers from the Canary Islands did not recognise the new uniforms of the Irish Brigade and attacked them. O'Duffy later claimed the Canary bandera was dissolved.
