- (continued from previous page)the road is cut by the side of the hill, having a deep valley on one side, and ground rising very high on the other. Then there are three sharp turns in the road. In the middle turn the I. R. A. boys placed a barricade, and took their places inside the fences, and waited for the lorries to come on.
When they came, the first lorry had to stop up, on account of the bend in the road.
The other lorries were under fire before they could pull up. The I. R. A. boys opened fire at once, and the black-and-tans all got knocked out in less than five minutes.- Collector
