100 Years Ago This Week In The Irish Civil War
|
15 December In mid-December 1922, Tom Barry led his men in the capture
|
|
of a string of towns across the province of Munster, including
|
|
Mullinavat. They killed two Irish National Army soldiers and took
|
|
prisoner the Free State garrisons there, amounting to over 110
|
|
men and seizing their arms. However, due to a shortage of men
|
|
and equipment, they were unable to hold these places, evacuating
|
them before National Army reinforcements arrive.
|
17 December The last British troops leave the Free State. They are the remnants of a 5,000 strong garrison maintained up to that point in Dublin
