Quite a good talk divided into six stories, starting with Electronic warfare during the Second World War.

Came across this photograph in a box of 'old stuff' I recently started to sort out and was struck by some similarities.

A Pathé clip of the British Troops handing over a town (Athlone) to the Irish Free State Troops. - Leading Free State was Seán McKeoin (or Mc Eoin?) The Blacksmith of Ballinalee. The castle itself will be 800 years old next year. The smart asses might be witty enough to note that there might be little difference with Athlone in 1921 and now.:D. Appartantly, the Free Staters did not actually have a flag pole when raising the tricolour, a bit embarrashing. i think they had to get a brush stick. something mad like that

Surely there are some more news reels / footage out there of british leaving eg Spike Islands etc

It was indeed Commdt McKeown..interestingly enough in William Sheehans book Hearts and Mines which details the activities of 5th Division British Army whose area of operations included Leitrim,Westmeath etc, quoting from the Divisional Report written in 1923, the part played by Commdt McKeown in preventing the massacre of survivors and wounded British soldiers after the ambush of their convoy in Ballinlee Co Longford on 2nd February 1922 is well acknowledged and went a long way in preventing Commdt McKeown being executed after he was tried for the assasination(the Report states murder) of a District Inspector of the RIC.

If I am correct, he was the man Collins tried to rescue from Mountjoy Prison, when Earnie O'Malley escaped during the Tan War. Paddy Moran of Roscommon (the Forgotten 10) could have escaped but foolishly stayed for his trial, being sure that he would be acquitted.

McKeown also was a bit of a deal breaker for Collins during the Treaty Negotiations too.

Just as well Tom Barry never got caught so.

Apologises if this is a re-post I didn't look through the whole thread so I'm not sure. I was blown away by this photo, no one seems to be as mesmerised as I am!:pac: It's of a 1850's (it says circa1855) labourer (name and place unknown). It is such a haunting photo more so because this lad was one of the guys at the bottom of which photos were rarely taken. Although it's clearly posed for it's still brilliant. To think this guy went through the famine. He can't be more than 30 I'd say and this was only a few years after the famine ended. The first photo I came across wasn't very clear but I managed to find a much better one. It's a verified photo (even came up in one of my history lectures!). A man from Clare had a bunch of old photos that he had collected and this was one of them. Enjoy!

The photos on this page, from the Civil War of 1922, are extraordinarily modern and touching. You feel you might have known these men.

Mostly ww2 ships but some of planes and other era things. Done in a postcard sort of style. Some are strikingly beautiful.

Not a video or a photo, but audio. Hopefully it fits here, mods please move if it doesn't.

Micheal Portillo presents a series of ten 15 minute programmes on BBC Radio 4, giving a flavour of the year before the great war as it unfolded in the UK, including much on happenings in Ireland.

Looking at a series of themes, the suffrage movement, the Irish question, the decline of the liberal party and the arts, he argues that to a large extent Britain was already in a state of flux by 1913 and many of the developments we think of as emanating from or being catalysed by the war, were actually in full flow.

Fascinating. Like an on-the-spot report. Do you know if any of the other programmes in Colm Keane's series are online?
