David Kent (probable)RICExecuted Victoria Barracks Cork

At 4.30 am on May 2nd RIC under HeadConstable William Rowe surrounded Bawnard House in Castlelyons to arrest Thomas, David, William and Richard Kent According to the BMH statement of Francis King who part of the raidingparty ‘It was daylight by this time as it was now 4.30 a.m. When we heard the shot we decided that standing in the open near these windows was very dangerous so we retreated back in the direction of some shrubbery to take up position where we would have some cover from any fire. There were several more shots as we moved back. When I got back some distance from the house I could see the Head Constable crouching behind a low wall on the far side or the house. Several shotsrang out and I saw him fall back on the ground. His head was almost completely blown off by a shotgun blast’.

Once the Kents surrendered after a three hour fire-fight involving morethan 100 British troops from Moore Park Officer Cadet Training School David made an escape attempt but wasshot. He died two days later in the Fermoy Military Hospital.

BMH 1543

IRA The Irish Times reports that CaptainAiry of the Manchester Regiment was ambushed along with his patrol quarter of a mile from Ballyvourney and that he had died from his wounds.

The Cairo Gang website states ‘The Manchester Regt reported A motor lorry of the battalion proceeding from Macroom to Ballyvourney in WestCork was ambushed on 20th July by about 150-armed rebels. Captain James Airey, Sergeant Nicholson, Private McEwen, Driver Ball RASC andPrivate Barlow were all wounded but Driver Ball was able to drive through the ambush. Captain Airy andPrivate Barlow both died of their wounds’.

BMH 1543 stated ‘On the third morning, on the 17th July, our expected lorry came along. It was fun of soldiers armed with rifle. Asit came into the ambush position a private car taking a patient to hospital also drove into the ambush position. The private car had been signalled to stop but the driver ignored the signal. The private car was going towards Macroom. We waited

until the private car got past the lorry before we opened fire. In the first volley the driver of the lorrywas wounded in the cheek. The lorry for the moment went out of control and mounted the fence on the side ofthe road. After travelling a couple of hundred yards with its two left wheels on the fence, the driver managed to get it back on the road after which it disappeared from our view around a bend…In this encountera Captain Eyrie was shot dead …to our surprise, no reprisals were carried out in the village. Instead,reprisals were carried out in Fermoya night or two after the attack…We learned later that Captain Eyrie, who was stationed in Fermoy, had only cane to Macroom the morning 10.he was killed and had only cone for the' drive to Ballyvourney. A short time previous he had criminally assaulted a young girl in Fermoy as she was returning from school and apparently the authorities were of the opinion that he had been killed by members of the Fermoy I.R.A. for the offence’.

James 1 BMH 1707BMH 1657

IRAIRA

Patrick Collins on page 8 of his witness statement says, 'Many of these spies (apart from those already referred to) came from the ex-British army class. One such was a man named James Herlihy who lived in G/Company district. He, and some other civilians, were known to our Intelligence Service to be in touch with the British military and to have supplied to them the names of prominent I.R.A. men in our district. We also learned that thesespies had been supplied with revolvers (by the British) for theirprotection in case of attack by the I.R.A. As the result of military raids on houses of prominent I.R.A. men in our area, it became known that Herlihy was one of those who had given information and we were instructed by the Brigade to pick him up. One morning, he was taken into custody by men from G/Company and removed to the Pouladuff district south of the city, where hewas executed by a firing squad from the company, on instructions from the Brigade.'

While Lynch was supposed to be shot along with Herlihy it appears from BMH 1657 p. 6 he escaped

Brady Unknown 1 BMH 713 IRA Date uncertain: An instance of co-operative effort on the part of the public may be instanced here. A man named Brady, a native of Dublin, whowas employed as a printer in Macroom, had been under suspicion asan enemy agent. On a night in September he was drinking with Auxiliaries at the Market Bar and was overheard by the proprietor, Mr.Shields, and two recently resigned R.I.C. Men, brothers, named Vaughan,giving information that Barret's house in the South Square was being used by the I.R.A. as a billet. Wordwas conveyed to our men by Shields and the Volunteers using the house were alerted and when the raid took place no one was found on the premises. Brady was arrested by us, convicted after a trial and deportedfrom the country. He returned alter some weeks and again made contact with- the enemy, this time at Union Quay Barracks, Cork. He was shadowed

one night as he left this post and was shot dead at Tory top Lane. Brady, printer mentioned by Murphy page 40. Andy Beilenberg says: On your oral testimony on him in witness statement date looks funny as if he was killed 1/9/20 given allelse that happened in the story subsequently this looks early

Joe Murphy, from Pouladuff Road in Ballyphehane, joined the Irish Volunteers in 1917 and took place innumerous actions during the War of Independence. He was arrested in July 1920 and imprisoned in Cork Gaoll. He went on hunger strike along with ten other prisoners in July 1920. He died after 76 days without food on 25th October 1920 .

The Irish Times reported on 30th November 1920 ‘A TERRIBLE tragedy isreported from Macroom, Co Cork, where on Sunday evening a party of Auxiliary Police was ambushed by about 80 or 100 men. Fifteen were killed outright, one died, and another is missing. The attackers, according to a statement by Sir Hamar Greenwood in the House of Commons last night, were in khaki and wore trench helmets.The party was fired on from both sides of the road, and there was also direct enfilading fire down theroad. According to unofficial reports, many houses in the districtand adjoining villages have been burned.An official telegram received at Dublin Castle at 5 o’clock yesterdaystated that seventeen members of theAuxiliary Force of the Royal Irish Constabulary went out on patrol duties at 3.15pm on Sunday in motor lorries from Macroom, Co Cork.They were ambushed by a body of armed men, whose number are believedto have been between seventy and onehundred. Fifteen of them were killedoutright, one man was wounded and isdying, and another man is missing.According to information, the ambushtook place at Johnstown, a village between Macroom and Dunmanway. It isreported that reprisals took place yesterday. Shops in the district were set on fire, and scarcely a house was left undamaged. People are

clearing out of the locality in terror.Business was at a stand-still at Macroom yesterday, all shops being closed as a precautionary measure against reprisals. Large parties of Auxiliary Police arrived with riflesand revolvers and patrolled the town, and travellers who motored there were ordered by the military to leave.Towards the close of a reply to Mr. [Joseph] Devlin on the adjournment of the House of Commons last night, Sir Hamar said the matter raised that evening (the carrying of arms in Ulster, particularly by the Ulster Volunteers) did not involve murder, and he passed on to a telegram which he had received that evening – one of the most distressing telegrams he had ever read to the House. He reminded the House the Auxiliary Division in Ireland was composed entirely of ex-officers, selected for conspicuous merit in the war.A further telegram from the Police Force in Ireland states: “ Some of my poor fellows were disarmed, and then brutally murdered. The bodies were rifled, and articles of value, and even articles of clothing, were taken from the bodies.”To-night, in Macroom, Sir Hamar continued, there are fifteen officers lying side by side dead, the victims of Irish assassins. I donot think the House would care to pursue questions about some odd

patrol in Ulster, or the burning of some farm, in the face of this challenge to the authority of this House and of civilisation. (Cheers.)

Unknown Unknown 1 BMH 713 IRA Date uncertain: Sometime late in 1920, or early in 1921, a British soldier in uniform without badges was caught in the locality: he stated he was a deserter. As far as I can recollect, he gave no name or regiment. He was held in arrest for some short time while enquiries werebeing made. We were very suspicious of him for about this time many of the alleged deserters were British spies. It was eventually decided to execute him and I was one of the party detailed for the job. He died very bravely without the slightest flinching, which convinced us that he was a British Intelligence Officer. He was only in our custody for less than two (2) days, during which he was kept in an unoccupied cottage on the farm of a Matt Donovan of Ballyvalloon, situated about 11/2miles from the village of Grenagh. His remains were buried on the farm, roughly about 300 yards from the cottage mentioned above, and as far as I know, the remains are still there.

They went upstairs and dragged the manager, John Cowhig, out of his bed and took him out intothe corridor. They were probably notused to handling guns and in the course of the fracas the gun went off and poor Cowhig was shot dead. The culprits vacated the premises ina hurry and made their escape. Next morning the police were called and were planning to bring in tracker dogs to trace the culprits. However,before they could organise this, word was received about the planned ambush at Dripsey, so the police officers were called away.

On the 1st of February 1921 three railway workers were shot by the Black and Tans at Mallow Railway Station Cork. County Inspector William Herbert King and his wife were walking down Railway Hill towards the station when they were ambushed, Mrs King was killed. In the subsequent rampage of revenge bythe Black and Tans three railway workers were shot dead. A photographof a dying Devitt surrounded by his wife and hospital staff appeared in the Irish Independent a couple of days after the shooting.

Thanks to Dr. Peter Rigney TCD for providing background information on the railway workers from the recordsof the Great Southern and Western Railway held in the Irish Railway Record Society and for referencing the subsequent death of Joseph Greensmyth who never recovered from being thrown down the steps of the signal cabin by Auxiliaries. This fact was specifically rejected in the Military Court of Inquiry held at Mallow. The findings stated ‘Thatone Signalman, Joseph Greensmith [sic] received injuries which at hisage are serious, but the Court are satisfied that he is mistaken in stating same were caused by Military’ in response to his sworn statement repeated in the House of Commons by Labour MP James Henry Thomas (General Secretary of the National Union of Railwaymen). The

inquiry answered the wrong question.Thomas had stated ‘The police went to the box and demanded admission. Morrissey opened the door and the police then gave the order "Hands up”. The men were next ordered out of the box and Greenwood [sic], who is 70 years of age, was thrown down the steps. When he got up again he protested that he was on duty. That is to say, that he was the signalmanresponsible for the lives of the travelling public. After throwing him down the steps the police said: "How did he get here," and he said: "I am on duty." After he had protested, the police said: "Damn the signal box. Damn the railwaymen and damn you." Greenwood [sic], however, was ordered back to the box’. Colonel H.R. Cummings who diedin a subsequent ambush at Clonbanninpresided.

On 5th March the Freemans Journal reports O’Brien’s death on page 5.

On ‘1st March, 1921, when the Chairman of the Charleville Rural District Council (Seán O'Brien) was murdered by Black & Tans I managed to attend to my duties as Adjutant and at the same tine remain at work Lin Charleville. I did not, however,sleep at home at night. However, foilowing the murder of Seán O'BrienI left the town and joined the Battalion 0/C. in the Field’. BMH 989

‘On that night the Tans came into the town mad looking for blood. Theywent to the home of Seán O'Brien,

who was a well-known Gaelic Leaguer and Irish Irelander - he had never served with the Volunteers. The Tansknocked at his door and Seán, without opening the door, enquired what they wanted, and the Tans' reply was to fire several volleys through the door and also threw somegrenades through the fan-light. PoorSeán died almost immediately. Seán was Chairman of the U.D.C., and alsoPresident of the Gaelic League Branch. BMH 754

Accident There is some confusion about these accidental shootings. [Cross reference 14 December] Philip Chambers states ‘On the 5/3/1921 I was detailed, under Section Leader Denis Hickey, to commandeer men and tools for road cutting operations inour Company area. The Company O.C. (Jeremiah O'Mahony) was to meet us

with some arms. We waited at the appointed place until well after midnight but he failed to turn up. Eventually his brother, Dan, arrivedwith the sad news that Jeremiah had been accidentally shot dead by a comrade Volunteer. We dismissed the commandeered party and proceeded at once to the scene of the accident. Igot the late Canon O'Connell of Enniskeane to administer the last rites and, on the suggestion of Canon O'Connell, we buried him temporarily in a rifle dump on his own farm. The following night we produced a rough coffin and removed his remains to the graveyard at Castlwtown-Kenneigh where we buried him in the Republican Plot alongsidethe three Volunteers who had been shot in the Kilmichael ambush some months before.

IRA Constable Thomas Shanley shot dead in KIldorrery. There is a mistake here as the Court of Inquiry says the man shot was Stanley. The two RIC constables were shot at point-blank range in KIldorrery and not Kilbrittain as the vague reports in the newspapers suggested. The matterwas raised in the House of Commons by Lt. Col. Archer Shee ‘asked the Chief Secretary if he has any information with reference to the murder of Constable Patrick Clarke, of Cliffoney, County Sligo; of Constable Shanley, murdered, and Sergeant Ryan, wounded, when returning from mass at Kildorrery, County Cork on 30 June 1921’.

IRA Late in June 1921, Jim Hurley (Battalion 0/C.), Tim Donoghue, (Vice 0/C) and I went to Rosscarberyto execute a spy named Frank O'Donoghue. This man had previously been working for Miss Whitley whose house had been burned after the attack on Burgatia House because of the part played by her in conveying information to the enemy regarding our occupation of Burgatia. The battalion staff had obtained definite information that this man had informed the Auxiliaries of the

whereabouts of Jim Lane and myself on the occasion when we had to spenda day and a night in the potato garden. We had met him on that occasion in Regan's public-house and, when he left, it appears that he told the enemy of our presence inRosscarbery. When we called to his house we were informed that he was in bed. We asked to see him in connection with the Rosscarbery Bandand he came down to us. After a severe cross-examination, he admitted that he had informed the enemy of the whereabouts of Jim Laneand myself on the night mentioned above. We procured a priest to hear his confession and then executed him. This was actually Frank Sullivan whose death was reported inthe West Cork Eagle on July 9th P.4 Col. 5

Examiner and Cork Constitution printing presses were destroyed by Anti Treaty forces as they retreatedfrom the city after the battle at Rochestown was lost on August 10).

#2: Captain Freil led a small squad into a turnip field near Belmont House next door to the home of localdoctor James Lynch of Garryduff, Rochestown, who treated the wounded and the dead. They were hit by Anti Treaty machine gun fire and five were killed. Neither Brogonovo nor Lynch identify these men.

Lynch later stated that 35 people were killed in the Battle of Rochestown with 75 wounded.

~3: The MacKenzie-Kennedy ncident occurred at Belmont crossroads. Padraig Ó Ruaric writes ‘During the fighting in Rochestown, as the covering party of the IRA was evacuating to their second position near Douglas village, their lorry broke down at Belmont Cross. Three Volunteers jumped from the lorry andtook up position in Belmont Cottage nearby to enable the rest of the party to get away under the protection of an armoured car. Thesewere Scottie, Frank O’Donoghue and Moloney.One party of Free State soldiers whocharged the cottage was forced to retire leaving one of their number by the name of Flood, a Dublin man,

dying on the road. Frank O’Donoghue rushed from the cottage to Flood’s aid, whispered an act of contrition into his ear, and the unfortunate Flood died grasping O’Donoghue’s hand. The republicans took one prisoner.The cottage was later surrounded, and the three brave republican soldiers kept up an unequal fight against 64 Free State troops, killing 12, and wounding 15 according to the report. Only when the last bullet was fired did the battle cease. When further resistance was impossible, and having delayed the enemy until the republicans had taken up their position, the little party decided to surrender.MacKenzie Kennedy opened the door and put up his hands in token surrender, but was shot dead as was Moloney. O’Donoghue was captured andtaken prisoner’.#4 The Irish Independent which was the only newspaper able to report from Cork after the destruction of the Examiner and Cork Constitution printing presses stated that some young boys had found grenades at theVictoria Barracks after the Anti Treaty IRA had evacuated and burned the building. One was killed and theother ‘had all his clothes blown off’ which suggests that he was an eyewitness. Neither child was named.

Unknown A verdict of wilful murder against unknown persons was returned by a coroner’s jury in Cork on Tuesday inthe case of Theobold Creber who was found shot in a field.

Murphy has the date as 21/7/1923 which is not correct as the Southern Star reports the incident on August 25th p.7 saying the killing took place on the previous Sunday night but the body was not discovered until the Monday

morning. He was an unemployed labourer and had not worked from theprevious November He was killed at Mr. Pike's burned out house in KerryPike by a single bullet to the heartand was shot on his way home by unknown assailants.

Complete casualty list for County Cork between April 1916 and December 1923 by Barry Keaneto be acting as; a spy for the enemy. This man, O'Sullivan, had been seen leaving the R.I.C. barracks at Empress Place, Cork, on several occasions after curfew. He had been told that, if he continued his association with the enemy, the consequences for him would be serious. He ignored these warnings and, as a. result, we were instructed by the Battalion 0/C to pick him up and execute him. It was difficult to locate O'Sullivan, as; he seldom came home except during curfew. Oh 15th February, 1921, we received information that the man for whom we were searching was in a publichouse on Sullivan's Quay, Cork. A party of sir of us, with William Barry, Company Captain, in charge, picked him up in the public house andtook him by car to a. spot on the Curragh Road, where he was shot’.
