#OTD in 1921 – Clogheen Ambush | Six IRA men from the 1st Battalion, Cork No.1 Brigade are killed when they are surrounded in a barn in Clogheen by the British Army.

Six IRA men from the 1st Battalion, Cork No. 1 Brigade are massacred when they are surrounded in a barn in Clogheen by the British Army. Their whereabouts may have been provided to army intelligence by a fellow IRA member who broke under questioning. In April 1922, the IRA shot a Patrick O’Connor in New York whom they believed was the informer. Cornelius O’Keefe farmed 105 acres at Ballycannon,…

Didn’t realize till the other day that MNU merc 002 is the guy who gets up on the Nigerian gun tower during the Exosuit battle.

I really like that there’s a few mercs of the 1st Reaction Battalion that are followed throughout the entirety of the film and are all pretty visually distinct in some way or other, making it easy to spot them in their few minutes of screen time. It’s neat to go back and see what happens to each of them. Adds that much more detail to the story.

Also, I love his beanie.

"THEY DECIDED they wanted to ride their air planes all the way to the ground for a change. That's why you'll see two young AC2's at No. 3 Manning Depot, Edmonton, sporting silver wings on brand new air force blue uniforms. The wings mark them as paratroopers, and the fledgling air men are H. C. Furman of MacLeod, Alta., and Jack Lang of Tramping Lake, Sask. Members of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, they trained at Fort Benning, Ga., and Helena, Montana before both were overcome with the desire to fly and switched to the R.C.A.F. In this picture they get the "gen" on flying from FO. Blake Forrestt, young fighter and bomber pilot from Saskatoon who has flown on practically every fighting front where the R.C. A.F. has been engaged." (R.C.A.F. photo) - from the Kingston Whig-Standard. December 2, 1943. Page 12.
