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.
