ENCOUNTER AT KILCASH
TWO MEN KILLED AND
SEVERAL WOUNDED |
A column of national troops encountered about 80 men at Kilcash on Sunday at 1 p.m., who had a Lewis gun and a Thompson gun and occupied positions on the slopes. The attack lasted for three hours. The national troops had three men slightly wounded, and their opponents had two killed —Bennett, of Ballingarry, and Butler, of Castlejohn, Grangemockler. They were seen carrying away four wounded men. Darkness setting in, they divided into three sections, covering their retreat by lighting furze bushes as a screen. Eleven prisoners were taken.
On Sunday evening as a result of the week-end sweeping operations the following prisoners were brought to Clonmel—Andrew Corbett, Mardyke, Killenaule ; Thomas Carroll, Fethard ; John Smith, Garryguile; Fethard ; Joseph Gorman, Fethard ; T. White, Tullacussane ; E. King, The Green, Fethard ; Thomas Butler, Ballinamult ; James Hearn, Knockboy ; Michael Morrissey, Ballydoyle ; Thomas Tyrrel, Valley, Fethard ; Patrick Ryan, Fethard. The prisoners had no arms, but despatches were found on two of them, advising men to dump arms for the present, as that national columns were in too strong force. |
