Description

Newsreel item showing an attack by the British Army on Irish citizen's houses for failing to inform on Irish rebels who killed three policemen. This is one of many examples of the notorious ´authorised reprisals´ by Black and Tans and Auxiliaries (probably not the regular army) in 1921. Best from 00:34. Houses in Midleton (east Cork) have been burned in reprisal for occupants refusing information about the murder of three policemen.

Shot List
