Ambush site. Clonfin Longford.
They kept moving the snipers around to make forces think there were many.
They surrendered but one of the officers hid a revolver in his tunic which was found, luckily, because it would have been a bloodbath if he had attempted to use it.
He should have been executed but he was spared on the request of the dying commander of the troop.

I think the ambush might have been after the troops (Black and Tans) set fire to village nearby. They did this frequently including setting fire to Cork city.

It wasn't a nice time.

The commander of the ambush later became a politician and lived to be 80 still carrying some bullets in his body from his time in the revolution.

Car boot sale with the young un this morning, got a guide to pocket knives for £3, Had a good chat with the seller on all things military and he gifted me a newly made bullet for a Martini Henry rifle (y)

Car boot number 2 I spotted a military helmet I recognized and a quick chat brought the price down from £25 to £12.50 (sure he would have taken a tenner) I didn't buy it as couldn't quite remember the makers name or where it would have seen use, for whatever reason I didn't think to look it up on my phone until we got home ................ worth £50 all day long so have been kicking myself and will be going back next week just in case its still there

This afternoon its been a case of finishing tables clocks etc i had abandoned months ago, also finally started to make a table from a head and barrels I have had for years

Took my pup to the beach (yesterday). Don’t think she’s ever been before, she was fascinated by the sea and sand.

Got stung by a f'ing wasp in gym reception this morning, right on the inside of my forearm. How the hell it got up inside the sleeve of my training top I know not but the little bastard won't be doing that again, oh no.
