Kilmeena ambush : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kilmeena ambush
The Kilmeena ambush was an action during the Irish War of Independence that took place at Kilmeena, County Mayo on 19 May 1921. The ambush ended in defeat for the local West Mayo Irish Republican Army (IRA), with six IRA volunteers killed and seven wounded. Two members of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) and one Black and Tan were also killed in the action. ==Background== The IRA in west Mayo was relatively quiet until January 1921, when Michael Kilroy, described as, "a puritanical and ascetic blacksmith"〔Michael Hopkinson, The Irish War of Independence, p. 134〕 took over command of the Brigade after Tom Derrig was arrested by the British. Kilroy formed a relatively large "flying column" of 40–50 men to carry out attacks on British forces in the area. On 6 May they suffered a reverse at Islandeady, when a British patrol came upon the IRA men cutting a road; three volunteers were killed and two captured.〔Hopkinson, p. 134〕
