Some authors say 2 April, others say 5 April. In the third edition the author simply stated “ in April” p. 24 “Attempted Disarming of Guards” section. This action occurred on 23 September, not 28 September Chapter 4 p. 39 Caption under the photo should read James Daly not John Daly p. 43 “Sergeant Killed” section Second Paragraph, the exact date that Craddock led a group of men to Joseph Cummingham’s was 22 August p. 44 “Ambush at Ratra” section… second paragraph…the spelling of John McManmy should read John McManamy p. 45 “British Raiding Party” section. The exact date for the attack in the River Shannon is 17 October, not in September p. 48 The photo on p. 48 is a photo of Sean Connolly, but NOT Sean Connolly of Longford. This Sean Connolly was from Dublin and mistakenly given to the author by the Commanding Officer of the Longford Barracks Chapter 5 p. 69 2nd paragraph…Sgt. McArdle was not killed but rather wounded in the encounter with the Volunteers p. 78 “Attempted Attack on Ballaghaderreen Barracks” section.

Why were they wrong in the first place? The author originally took her information from records in the Military Archives dated a specific date, but the actual day of the occurrences has been derived from extensive research in the newspaper articles of the times, which are now available on the internet. Thus, new dates have been affixed to actions in the 3rd edition. Chapter 7 p. 177 Paragraph beginning “Brady and Galvin were the first”, the words “On the night of 9 September” have been added p. 138 The dates of various actions have changed: Next to the last paragraph….skirmish at Ballinlough-- -23 July; Ballinagare 28 July p. 141 In sidebar, Jack Fitzgerald of Cork has been added to the Arigna Flying Column Members p. 144 “A Snapshot of August” section 11 August…..“National troops captured three ex-British Army personnel”…happened on 7 August Republicans were arrested in Kiltimagh, but not thirty Last two lines….Anti-Treaty men stole tons of petrol on 21 August p. 145 By the third bullet----Kiltoom train robbery happened on 16 August Sixth bullet---The Arigna Field hospital was located in a corrugated shed owned by the Arigna Mining Company.

But Keogh was a bit of a magician…he got arrested, escaped, got re-arrested, escaped again so many times that the author needed an abacus to keep track of all his exploits Chronology There were scores of changes in the dates of various actions in the county Roscommon Volunteer Section p. 211 Peter Barrett was killed on 28 September 1923 p. 215 Sean Bermingham died on 10 December 1974 and was buried in Strokestown Cemetery p. 222 John Brennan was the Captain of the Kilgefin Company p. 228 Frank Carty died in 1942 p. 232 Ellen Collins of Aughamuck, Kilrooskey has been added. She was the sister of Peter and Michael, and later married Luke Duffy p. 235 Peter Connaughton of Athleague has been added. He fought in east Kerry as a machine gunner p. 238 Martin Connor (in the shadowed box) has new information. His Irish name is Mordachy, he died in January 1942 and is buried in St. Patrick’s Churchyard Cemetery in Elphin. His picture has been added. The photo of Thomas Connor has been added.

A mistake that persisited from 1st edition through the 2nd edition was that James Fehilly really existed. After extensive searching, the author found that James Fehilly is really James Feely and that in the 3rd edition the information on page 287 has been consolidated with that of James Feely on page 285 p. 289 Patrick Finnegan is not buried in Oran Cemetery but rather St. Coman’s p. 289 −290 George Fitzgerald did not escape in January 1923 but was released p. 290 In the photo, the 5th man from the left was identified as James Moran, which he was. But his home was not Roscommon but rather Lisnagroagh, Fuerty The first man on the left was mis-identified as Sean Leavy, but his son definitely told the author this was not so. The man was identified as Leavy in a photo formerly published in a Roscommon journal, and thus the author used that information.
