  • Hello,

    Agreeing with the note in description; this is not footage of the Irish Civil War.

    Does the back-to-front '1930' on 00:27 have any significance?

    Also between 00:15 and 00:18, a soldier appears to hold a flat wooden bat of some sort.

    Best Regards,

    Simon Spratt, Limerick, Ireland.
