What a great version of this old tune. Not since David took Goliath out of the occasion, was there such an unlikely victory for the little guy! Tom Barry, and his gallant band of warriors must never be forgotten. Best wishes from Birmingham.

I'm a Gael born in England. This song that celebrates the great victory of Tom Barry and his galant Flying colume inspires me. God bless those 3 Irishmen who died that day. Ireland needs men like this now. IRELAND BELONGS TO THE IRISH.🇮🇪

The reason dear Father why we were restricted back in 2021 is because of the globalist plandemic brought about the same tyrannical forces tha the boys of Kilmichael fought against Eire Abu.

Only problem about the song is it was not the Black and Tans but the Auxiliaries that they fought. The Auxiliaries were mainly Officers from WW1.
@edwardbourke52402 жыл бұрын
Essex and Manchester regiment only the Auxies went to wrong place and left the gap through which the column escaped. The search of the area was instigated as a result of an IRA spy who revealed the column base and arms dump. The spy was John Buckley alias Patrick Coakley a Bandon officer see Murder by the throat spies and informers in the Irish war of independence

All correct, what you say, but rebel songs are never going to provide 100% accurate references to actual events. I think we will allow this inaccuracy. Great tune!

The numbing thing for me is that me Grandparents were named O'Sullivan and McCarthy. O'Donoghue pub in Castletownbere are relations of mine, though I never met them. They knew me Dad well enough. So if passing have a pint there in memory of the fallen. What a documentary, it really hit home, real close to home, though I live very far away.

Watching this on Dec. 5, 2020. Here in the USA I am mortally ashamed of my fellow countrymen, mostly the very young people that have forgotten and forsaken the dead in Arlington National Cemetery. Those brave men fought for our liberty, that is now being stolen by fraudulent elections and socialists. I am a descendant of Kelley's from County Cork, maybe it's in my blood, to not want to lay down and take this farce from evil doers. May God help us all. Some things are worth fighting for, history proves this on every continent, time after time. When I visit Ireland, I want to visit the graves of those brave men.

Please explain what you think a socialist is? Most of those brave men were fighting against right wing oppression. Many of those brave men were very active union members with very socialist views.

A very informative and well produced and narrated documentary. As an Englishman, I feel ashamed of the actions of those Tans, sent by Westminster to carry out disgusting acts of barbarism against the peoples of Ireland. I salute those brave men of Kilmichael for their fight for freedom from an oppressive British Empire.

To me, the “controversy” is absurd. They had to be killed, full stop. Had they took pity on them and let them live, they would have simply returned and killed them
