RA man with the Tommy gun is a vibe

[@mackerel8619]

they were used quite commonly during the war of independance and civil war, even during the border campaign and troubles up to probably about 1980, the IRA had a decent amount in stockpiles from the civil war and before.

A better title would be "patriotic Irish insergent song 1969-2007 Northern Ireland conflict"

[@MMM-rf5gm]

Or they could use the name of the song as the title 🤷‍♂️

This song makes it sound like the IRA won this skirmish when all that really happened was their commander was killed. Edit: Now I think this is about a different incident, most likely the Battle of Courtbane. Either way the account is clearly embellished. This song mentions the use of a road bomb when there doesn't seem to have been any exposives used at Courtbane. And I can't find any other IRA attacks in Armagh that involved the use of both a bomb and gunfire to attack a British patrol during then timeframe of McVerry's IRA career.
