Belt made in Frongoch

"Seamus Ó Chaomhanaigh was OC of Óglaigh na hÉireann in Derry in 1916. He was interned in Frongoch and made the belt while he was there. He was arrested in April 1920 in Derry and sent to Wormwood Scrubs in London where he joined a hunger strike. He was released in a state of collapse to St James' nursing home in London. The picture shows him convalescing with the belt in front of him."
