#OTD in 1920 – Rineen Ambush | Six RIC men were killed by the IRA in an ambush in Rineen, Co Clare.

One of the most memorable encounters of the War of Independence took place at Dromin Hill, Rineen on this date. The purpose of this act was to get revenge for the murder of Martin Devitt, an Irish soldier who was shot dead in an ambush in February of that year in the locality. A secondary function was to get arms for the poorly equipped volunteers in the area. Men from several battalions took…

"Pouliot in Objections," Brantford Expositor. December 1, 1942. Page 4. ---- Resents Publicity for Open Court-Martial at Quebec --- LA MALBAIE, Que., Dec. 1 - (CP) - Jean Francois Pouliot, Liberal member of Parliament for Temiscouata, protested at a by-election meeting here Saturday night to "publicity" given to a general court-martial trying nine army men at Quebec on charges arising from irregularities in medical examinations. Speaking in support of Frederick Dorion, Quebec lawyer elected as an Independent in Monday's Charlevoix-Saguenay Federal byelection Mr. Pouliot said: "I denounce with all my strength the publicity given these trials. We do not act like that in the other provinces, where sittings of the court martial are held in camera. "I blame the Ralston (Defense Minister Ralston) who permitted the overflowing of that dirty water over the Province of Quebec .... to French-Canadians." (At a press conference preceding the court-martial, Brig. Georges P .Vanier, Officer Commanding M.D. 5 at Quebec, told newsmen: "The public seems to be of the opinion that an open court-martial is some- thing extraordinary. We want to correct the opinion that we want to publicize this case. In most other open court-martials here the public was not interested.")

The ruined church of Moy was also known as Teampul-Inis-Dia (‘the church of the island of God’), though why it was given this name is not known. Yet it stands now like an island in a sea of grassland, visible from a country road between Lahinch and Milltown Malbay.

Project to build cliff swallow nestboxes for one of the biggest colonies in the Gaspésie region of Québec! Fundraiser site is in french, but figured I'd still pass the word along: https://laruchequebec.com/fr/projets/protegeons-la-colonie-dhirondelles-a-front-blanc-du-barachois-de-malbaie-en-gaspesie

I'll add that cliff swallows will often nest along with other swallow species so nesting sites might help those too (tree swallows, bank swallows, etc.), they provide an important service by eating a LOT of flying insects such as mosquitos and flies, and they're cute little guys too!

Hal and Jule – The story my grandfather use to tell of meeting his duet partner always ended with his chuckled remembrance that his brothers and friends warned him not to fall for Jule O’Brien. “All you’ll do is carry her sheet music,” they would say. The first verse tells of a job that Jule and her sister Kitty had, playing and singing at the Boston Store on State Street in Chicago’s Loop. They were selling sheet music in the days before radio. As it turned out, Bomp had a good singing voice as well and was a natural entertainer, and they did so for most of their life together. Although they sang in bars and resorts in Chicago, Indiana, and southern Wisconsin, their lucky grandchildren felt their best performances were in a tiny cottage in northern Illinois. What memories …

The magnificent whistle in this song (a nod to the beautiful whistle my grandmother had) is provided by my dear friend Dave Beutel. Amazingly enough, his grandmother, like mine, was named Julia O’Brien. Even more remarkable, his Julia was born in Miltown Malbay, in County Clare, the same tiny Irish town as our Moroney clan. While Dave and I cannot find a common ancestor, we are sure, given our similar world view and his musical inclinations, we must be cousins in some form or fashion.

#OTD in 1973 – Death of piper and folklorist, Willie Clancy.

Clancy was born into a musical family in the outskirts of Miltown Malbay, Co Clare. His parents, Gilbert Clancy and Ellen Killeen, both sang and played concertina, and his father also played the flute. Clancy’s father had been heavily influenced by local blind piper Garret Barry and passed much of Barry’s music on to Willie. Willie started playing the whistle at age 5, and later took up the…
