Don't forget the role of Buckley who informed the British that the column base was at Crossbarry none of Monaghan's mines went off as intended - it is likely he was a British plant - deserters were usually shot so it is a mystery how he became embedded in the column. The IRA column disbanded and there was much reduced activity in Cork for the last three months of the war of Independence when the action moved to Dublin which like 1916 was the most active area.
At least he had the courage to attempt an ambush R. I.P CHARLIE HURLEY soldier of Ireland,,, pity more of your country men did not have your courage,, 6 counties still unfree

Had the immense pleasure of meeting Flor Begley's son Diarmud in 2018 whilst filming The Brigade, which is available on Amazon Prime.
Diarmuid wrote a booklet a number of years ago titled "The Road To Crossbarry".

Hurley was shot in the house where my great gran aunt lived my grandmother's uncle inlaw was later arrested for harbouring Charlie Hurley
Where exactly is the old Forde house in Ballymurphy. Can't seem to find it around the Charlie Hurley moment. Does anyone know?

Defaming a brave man is a dirty deed
Not much cover left around crossbarry . Looks like a lot hedgerows removed.

Fascinating topic and well presented. But the video presentation would be better without the wailing Scottish bagpipes. Annoying.
Could be the Uilleann Pipes of Irish traditional music, similar but different.
Why? There was an Irish piper at Crossbarry
