Details |
The supposed scene following the 'Battle of Tralee'. A press release suggested that a convoy of Royal Irish Constabulary cadets had been ambushed by Republicans. The photo purports to show the dead bodies of a cadet and two Sinn Fein members, with other cadets in the background taking prisoners. It was later revealed that the incident had been staged and was without foundation.
