1900's IN IRELAND - 'PRINT WARS'.





Tipperary, 1920's - troubled discussions within the IRA about how the fight was going, and a Free State soldier with his own troubles - he had decided that fighting against the Republic was not for him, that he wanted to fight for it.

And he intended to 'come across from the Dark Side' with weaponry, which he had access to...



...and, on Wednesday, 26th February 2025, you'll have access to the rest of that story.

And access, as well, to about 15 or 16 other pieces that we've either put together or are working on -

- 1900's, Ireland ; two competing armies, one of which intruded on the printed success of the other, and did so shamelessly...

- Ireland, mid-19th Century ; the British had intended to execute these Irish rebels but the world-wide outcry made them hesitant, at first, to do so, and then convinced them to call off the executions. Instead, the rebels were sent to 'a Hell on Earth...'

- Monaghan, early 1920's ; this man served the half-crown in the British Army, was seated at the 'Top Table' in a pro-British Army support group and had applied to join the RIC, and was known to be 'on friendly terms' with both of those military bodies. People who didn't appreciate that 'friendliness' were mapping his movements...

We'll be 'mapping out' the above for ya, and other bits and pieces, on Wednesday, 26th February 2025, so give us a shout, if ya don't get lost between this and then.

Thanks for reading - see ye all on the 26th!

Sharon and the team.
