Scramogue Ambush
The Scramogue Ambush was an ambush carried out by the Irish Republican Army (IRA) on 23 March 1921, during the Irish War of Independence. It took place in the townland of Scramogue (aka Scramoge), County Roscommon.
==Background==
County Roscommon was not one of the more violent areas of Ireland during the conflict. The local IRA argued to their GHQ that it was very difficult to conduct guerrilla warfare in the flat open countryside there. Prior to the action at Scramogue, the biggest previous incident had been in October 1920, when four RIC policemen were killed in an ambush near Ballinderry.〔Michael Hopkinson, The Irish War of Independence, p143〕
Sean Connolly had been sent by IRA GHQ from Longford to re-organise the Roscommon Volunteers and had selected the ambush site at Scramogue. However he was killed twelve days before the action at the Selton Hill ambush in neighbouring County Leitrim.〔Hopkinson p144〕
