IRELAND, 1919 - 'LEGION'-AIRES DISEASE IN IRELAND...









Ah sure, look it...

...we're not anymore bigheaded now than we were before we clocked-up over 1,500,000 hits.

YA WHA'???

You hadn't noticed, you say... "so what?", ya declare, with a shrug of your shoulders...

"Big deal...", you retort, throwing your eyes up to Heaven...

Well feck off then, and don't check back with us on Wednesday, 26th June 2024, when we'll be posting a blog with 1,500,000...eh...23...parts in it, covering the following four stories and nineteen others -

Between January and June in this particular year in the 1920's, the IRA had time-and-a-half the number of 'men and women in uniform' that the Staters had, but the latter had one advantage that the former didn't have - Westminster...

1920's, Ireland - Michael Collins told directly by Westminster to 'sort out' an on-going incident between his people and the IRA or else they would do what they deemed necessary to bring the incident to a close in their favour...

1919, Ireland - 'Legion'-aires (!) disease outbreak (a rose by any other name..!) in a county near Dublin soon morphed into its true colours...

1919, Ireland ; for this RIC man, his 'job' wasn't - it was a passion, his 'mission in life'. His forced absence (!) was even noted in Westminster, who praised him and called for political ramifications to be enacted in Ireland...

So...do US a favour : add another score to our hit counter, won't ya not, as we're trying to get to two million.

Not greedy or anything...!

Thanks for the visit, and for reading : see yis on Wednesday, 26th June 2024!
