The Assault & Capture of the RIC Barracks in Ballymahon, August 1920 

Brilliant work! Well done to all involved. Thanks for highlighting this important and often overlooked period of Longford history!

Very interesting Longford played a big part in Ireland s war of independence with superb leaders in Sean maceoin and Sean Connolly

I think it's time for a New in-depth biography of legendary Longford leader Sean maceoin who gave a 50 year service to Ireland in war and peace there's finally an in-depth biography of Liam Lynch Sean maceoin is not just famous in Longford but throughout Ireland a hint to Mel Farrell and Marie Coleman both top notch historians to write a biography of legendary Longford leader Sean maceoin

Jasus very good well put together lads!

Any more information on Bill Duncan?

Any involvement of the Auchmuty or Amooty family who were connected to the Forbes family - and by this time - worked for them?
