DescriptionMilitary carrying out official reprisal following an ambush in Meelin, Co. Cork (29988005920).jpg
Ignorance is a terrible thing, I have never heard of Meelin and I know absolutely nothing about the subject matter of the above description. The big benefit of this job is that within a few hours I will know all there is to know about it! Thanking you in advance.
Thanks to [/photos/91549360@N03/ O Mac] for the location and street view. There is no doubt that these so called "official reprisals" were a reality and were sanctioned at the highest level of command.
[/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomberaustralia] and [/photos/79549245@N06/ DannyM8] together managed to identify the most probable date for this photo and the link to the chapter 7 of Sean Moylan - Rebel Leader on Google Books is a must read for anyone with an interest in the Meelin story.
