In light of the debate about Republicanism, Irish and so on, I figured I’d post this which arrived in my inbox recently. The October 21st 1921 issue of “An t-Ógláċ The Official Organ of the Irish Volunteers”. There are articles about Revolvers, the importance of ‘cover’, Night Training and ‘The Indian Situation’.
The short piece on India is very interesting – especially given the analysis by some later historians (well Kostick anyways) as to how different situations of conflict internationally – both across the Empire and within Britain – impacted on the British state to the favor of Irish separatists – clearly at least some people within the separatist movement at the time thought along similar lines.
Very fascinating document IELB, thanks a million and to the people who donated it.
