Pure Cark
I’ve been reading up on various ambushes recently and for some reason I’d never heard of the Headford train station ambush. Sounds like a serious battle, and was very close to being a perfect trap by the IRA.
The Clonmult reversal was brutal but you’d seriously have to question why the column were billeted in the same house for a month. Left themselves as sitting ducks.
You’d think the Limerick boys would have got this…
I forgot about that, no answer yet?
The first got too cocky

Thats bruff
The old Garda barracks there on the right and Matt Rea’s pub above it. (Not Rea’s now of course).
Only in North East Ulster - there were a few complaints that there was intimidation at some ballot boxes alright … the worst of it carried out by the so called constitutional (Redmond) Party below in Waterford … where they black-guarded the shinners.
I was reading a Witness Statement from a member of the Leitrim volunteers and he freely mentions they engaged in “personation”
He was looking for a bigger pension … you cant believe a word of those files … half the country were on active duty apparently.
