Selton Hill ambush
The Selton Hill Ambush took place on 11 March 1921, during the Irish War of Independence. An Irish Republican Army (IRA) flying column was ambushed by members of the RIC Auxiliary Division at Selton Hill (aka Seltan Hill), County Leitrim. Six IRA officers of the Leitrim Brigade were killed.
==Background==
Seán Connolly was an IRA activist from County Longford, but he was also used by IRA GHQ to organise surrounding areas; first County Roscommon and then County Leitrim. When Michael Collins ordered Connolly into the county, he warned that it was "the most treacherous county in Ireland". 〔Michael Hopkinson, ''The Irish War of Independence'', pp. 144, 147〕 As Connolly was running a training camp at Selton Hill in early 1921, his position was given to the RIC.〔Marie Coleman, ''County Longford and the Irish Revolution'', p. 129.〕 The RIC District Inspector, Thomas Gore-Hickman, had been alerted to Connolly's position by a local doctor who had served in the British Army.〔Ernie O'Malley, ''Raids and Rallies'', pp. 101, 136〕 The doctor had reportedly been told of the training camp by a local member of the Orange Order.〔
