Lieutenant-General Daniel Hogan (born 1895) was Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces in Ireland from March 1927 to February 1929.
Daniel Hogan was born in 1895 in Grangemockler, Clonmel, County Tipperary into a farming family. He moved to County Monaghan in 1918 where he worked as a clerk for the Great Northern Railway Company, based in Clones. It was there that he met Eoin O'Duffy and the two became friendly, with Hogan first joining the GAA and later the Irish Volunteers.
During the Irish War of Independence he quickly rose in the ranks to become second in command to Eoin O’Duffy in the Monaghan area. He also continued his involvement with the GAA, played senior football for Monaghan and was arrested, along with O’Duffy, before a game between Cavan and Armagh after refusing to apply for permits from the British authorities to hold the match. In November 1920 his brother Michael Hogan, also a member of the Irish Volunteers and captain of Tipperary was shot dead at Croke Park on Bloody Sunday (the Hogan Stand was named after him). After his release from prison Dan Hogan continued to play an active role in the border areas and by the time of the truce was in command of the 5th Northern Division of the IRA. During the handover of power at Dublin Castle he attended the blessing of the tricolour and had the honour of being the first to raise the flag officially at the ceremony, attended by Michael Collins. He supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty and joined the Free State Army at the beginning of the Irish Civil War rising to the rank of Major General of the Eastern Command. It was during this period that he came to public attention after the general manager of the Great Northern Railway Company, John Bagwell, was kidnapped by anti-treaty forces, on hearing of the kidnapping Hogan issued a proclamation to the effect that if he was not safely released, reprisals would be taken against anti-treaty prisoners in custody. Within less than 24 hours of the proclamation Bagwell was released. He continued serving with the army after the end of the Civil War and in 1927 succeeded General Peader McMahon as Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces. He resigned from this post in 1929 after a dispute with the then Minister of Defence, Desmond Fitzgerald. Shortly after leaving the army, he emigrated to New York, on board the SS George Washington, and it is more than likely that it was at this time that he made the gift of a sword to Eoin O’Duffy, as the two remained good friends and O’Duffy travelled to the port with him to see him off to America.[ citation needed ]
He lived first at 13 Lincoln Avenue, Massapequa, Long Island, with his wife Betty Hogan (née Flynn), then they moved to 233 Ashland Place, Brooklyn, in the mid-1930s. He corresponded with the Department of Defence with regards his pension in late 1939 but his wife and daughter had not been in contact with him since 1938. He then started to use an address c/o Reverend Brother Wilfred Hogan, Christian Brothers, Westland Row in Dublin and getting pension cheques sent there. He moved back to Dublin for about 6 months before going back to the United States in 1940, where he used his last known address which was c/o McBride, 5320 Dorchester Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, suggesting he may have been drifting or at least not settled or didn't want to be tracked by family. The last contact he had with the Department of Defence was January 1940 and his last pension payment cashed was in June 1941. After that he is unaccounted for. To date, after 1941, Dan Hogan's last whereabouts or fate have never been established. [1] According to Fearghal McGarry's biography of Eoin O'Duffy, "Hogan left for the United States under a cloud, financial or sexual. He was killed in a bar brawl there in the early 1940s" [2]
Eoin O'Duffy was an Irish military commander, police commissioner and fascist leader.

He accepted the Anglo-Irish Treaty and as a general became Chief of Staff of the National Army in the Irish Civil War, on the pro-Treaty side.

William Joseph Mellows was an Irish republican and Sinn Féin politician. Born in England to an English father and Irish mother, he grew up in Ashton-under-Lyne before moving to Ireland, being raised in Cork, Dublin and his mother's native Wexford. He was active with the Irish Republican Brotherhood and Irish Volunteers, and participated in the Easter Rising in County Galway and the War of Independence. Elected as a TD to the First Dáil, he rejected the Anglo-Irish Treaty. During the Irish Civil War Mellows was captured by Pro-Treaty forces after the surrender of the Four Courts in June 1922. On 8 December 1922 he was one of four senior IRA men executed by the Provisional Government.
The Irish Republican Army of 1922–1969, an anti-Treaty sub-group of the original Irish Republican Army (1919–1922), fought against the Irish Free State in the Irish Civil War, and its successors up to 1969, when the IRA split again into the Provisional IRA and Official IRA. The original Irish Republican Army fought a guerrilla war against British rule in Ireland in the Irish War of Independence between 1919 and 1921. Following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty on 6 December 1921, the IRA in the 26 counties that were to become the Irish Free State split between supporters and opponents of the Treaty. The anti-Treatyites, sometimes referred to by Free State forces as "Irregulars", continued to use the name "Irish Republican Army" (IRA) or in Irish Óglaigh na hÉireann, as did the organisation in Northern Ireland which originally supported the pro-Treaty side. Óglaigh na hÉireann was also adopted as the name of the pro-Treaty National Army, and remains the official legal title of the Irish Defence Forces.

The Irish Brigade fought on the Nationalist side of Francisco Franco during the Spanish Civil War. The unit was formed wholly of Roman Catholics by the politician Eoin O'Duffy, who had previously organised the banned quasi-fascist Blueshirts and openly fascist Greenshirts in Ireland. Despite the declaration by the Irish government that participation in the war was unwelcome and ill-advised, 700 of O'Duffy's followers went to Spain. They saw their primary role in Spain as fighting for the Roman Catholic Church against the Red Terror of Spanish anticlericalists. They also saw many religious and historical parallels in the two nations, and hoped to prevent communism gaining ground in Spain.
The Irish Republican Army was a guerrilla army that fought the Irish War of Independence against Britain from 1919–1921. It saw itself as the legitimate army of the Irish Republic declared in 1919. The Anglo-Irish Treaty, which ended this conflict, was a compromise which abolished the Irish Republic, but created the self-governing Irish Free State, within the British Empire. The IRA was deeply split over whether to accept the Treaty. Some accepted, whereas some rejected not only the Treaty but also the civilian authorities who had accepted it. This attitude eventually led to the outbreak of the Irish Civil War in late June 1922 between pro- and anti-Treaty factions.
The Spanish Civil War lasted from July 17, 1936 to April 1, 1939. While both sides in the Spanish Civil War attracted participants from Ireland, the majority sided with the Nationalist faction.

Supportive of Francisco Franco, Belton however opposed Eoin O'Duffy taking an Irish Brigade to Spain, feeling that they would be needed in Ireland to counter domestic "political ills".
