Patrick Joseph Kilmartin joined the Irish Army during World War Two for two reasons;

Firstly, in order to provide for his family. In a period of significant shortage of produce for his shop business was very difficult and trading was poor, and he had a family to provide for.

Secondly to serve his county in a period of war, in which Ireland, although neutral, had to strengthen its armed forces.
