Coolavokig Ambush
The Coolavokig Ambush ((アイルランド語:Luíochán Chúil an Bhuacaigh)), also known as the Ambush at Ballyvourney and Poulnabro Ambush was carried out by the Cork no.1 brigade (IRA) on 25 February 1921, during the Irish War of Independence. It took place at Ballyvourney village (on the road between Macroom and Ballyvourney), County Cork. 1st Cork Brigade under Seán O'Hegarty, laid in wait for a unit of the Auxiliary Division under Major Seafield Grant, who was one of the casualties.〔Mr C Brown in (ed.) T O'Reilley, "Our Struggle For Independence" (Cork 2009), pp.40-49.〕
==Preparations==
The IRA Column had been attempting to ambush the Auxiliaries for two weeks but had always missed them. As they occupied the ambush position over a few days their position became known and a force of 70 Auxiliaries and 7 RIC constables moved against them, heavily armed with rifles, machine-guns and grenades. The sixty-two IRA gunmen included units from the 1st, 7th, and 8th battalions of the 1st Cork Brigade, and was divided into four sections. Apart from Seán O'Hegarty the main IRA officers were Dan "Sandow" O'Donovan and Dan Corkery. The IRA was armed with sixty rifles, several shotguns and revolvers, and two Lewis guns, but significantly no grenades. The British forces, travelling in eight lorries and two cars, also carried four Irish hostages with them.
