“During the "Black and Tan" fight in Ireland...”
During the "Black and Tan" fight in Ireland there was an ambush in Kilcooly. The Irish were ready to ambush three lorries of the "Black and Ten" The Irish were stopping at two old broken down houses at the foot of the hill just at Mary Willies. When the English lorries came they let the first lorry go to the second house and when they heard the shots being fired at the second and third lorries they put up speen and thought they were off safe. Only one occupant of the three lorries was saved. That was the driver of the third lorry. He was let free because he did some good act for the Irish.(continues on next page) - Collector
