A Waterford Squire in Africa
Dublin-born Edward Garraway moved to Rockshire in his youth and was educated at Waterford Diocesan School before studying medicine at Trinity College.
His medical career brought him to Africa, where he took part in the Jameson Raid, with Garraway’s prison journals being of great significance to historians of the event.
Garraway went on to attain several high ranking positions in the Union of South Africa before returning to Waterford.
He then became a member of Waterford Corporation and Master of the City and County Infirmary.
Another fascinating look at a Waterford tale, lost to the pages of history only for Cian Manning.
