From the look of the colours it is most likely a WW1 era Triumph. |

This scene was the reenactment of the assassination of the Commander-In-Chief of the Irish National Forces, Michael Collins who was shot by IRA Anti-Treaty Forces sniper, Denis "Sonny" O'Neill during an IRA ambush at Beal na Blath in County Cork on the evening of the 22nd August 1922. O'Neill was a former officer in the Royal Irish Constabulary who previously served in the British Army as a marksman during the First World War, he returned to Ireland in December 1918 and joined the ranks of the IRA. During the Irish War of Independence from 1920 to 1921, O'Neill was assigned as a training officer to the IRA Southern Command based at Mallow in County Cork where he met Collins serval times and later during the Irish Civil War from 1922 to 1923, O'Neill join the IRA Anti-Treaty Forces Cork Branch. On the day of the ambush, O'Neill was in position when the Anti-Treaty Forces ambushed Collins' convoy and had a clear line of site of Collins' staff vehicle and the spot where Collins was sitting. It was believed that O'Neill killed Collins on the orders of the Anti-Treaty IRA political leader, Eamon De Valera as Irish Government records had stated that O'Neill started to receive a military officer's pension from the Irish Government (under De Valera's rule) in the 1940s, while it's believed that Collin's death was a coincidence. -- Last edit: 2022-08-13 17:21:39 |
