Ireland, 1920's - an IRA ambush on an RIC patrol results in the death of one of the RIC members (an ex-'Royal Marine') who had only joined the RIC weeks earlier.
Two ex-British Army soldiers were 'arrested' by the Crown Forces and charged with the shooting but, try as they did, the British couldn't get any evidence against their two ex-comrades and they were acquitted and released.
But RIC members in the 'courtroom' weren't in agreement with that verdict, one of them in particular, who had earned a reputation for himself as a thug, a bully, who was quick to rage, and he was raging...and, after he and his pals arranged an ambush of their own, he had to flee the country.
Bet he was raging...
...and that's just one of the 20-or-so pieces we'll be writing about on Wednesday, 24th July 2024, on the blog.
So do check back with us then, wontcha, and discover for yerself what it is that the above has to do with a country more than 6,500 km from Ireland...!?
Thanks for the visit, and for reading ; see yis on the 24th!
Sharon and the team.
