Description

This newsreel shows British troops leaving Ireland following the Anglo-Irish War. At 00:35 you can see Tim Healy, the First Governor of the Irish Free State. The interesting aspect of this footage is that it shows that British troops did not all leave immediately after the signing of the Treaty. Here they are departing in the middle of the Civil War in December 1922.
