Dedicated to the men who joined Flying Columns in Ireland, often leaving loved ones behind as they spend their time mobile moving far and fast in the struggle for independance
Great men and women of Ireland pity we don't have them anymore our people are ruled by Europe and by our banks that we own God bless our brave volunteers rip
They're great men in their day. Many more great men if only we had them today like East Tyrone. Time will tell 🙏 Ireland is still unfree how sad hunger strikers bless them.
Isn't history unreal these brave men badly equiped and hunted like dogs day and night called terriosts but only wanted freedom from an empire and won their freedom by giving their lives just goes to show you stand up and fight for what's right
Very informative. As an American, I wonder if any of my countrymen and women would be as dedicated as the Irish Patriots who fought for their ideals, freedom and country. Probably not.Anyway, Thanks for posting this Very enlightening
The bravest of the brave those lads. Now to see how this EU situation plays out, but we’ll not have lads like these again. We could all live for their names
We always sang this song When we were children so sad to grow up and learn what the song is really about God bless tipperary and the men Who fought for liberty;
I had the pleasure of meeting General Tom Barry and on that encounter proved to me the honorable man he still was many years after his Flying Column days .The meeting was accidental and for reasons that might be embarrassing for some of the persons involved I shall refrain from naming and shaming them .Let it be said that they did not portray themselves in glory.However Barry in his own way put the principle offender in my view in his box and showed him up for the Kow tow shoneen he was. At this time he was living over Woodford Bournes on the corner of Patrick St .
My Great Uncle Francie Chambers was a part of the West Mayo Flying Column, and my grandfather was from Tipperary…I have a pic of Francie with the boys and their rifles…Oh how I miss them all…
