An article describing clashes at a Sinn Féin-organised aeridhacht held in Cullen, County Cork on 26 May 1918

The article describes a confrontation with the British military during the aeridhacht.

The article is signed ‘W.F.P.S.’ This is probably William Frederick Paul Stockley, a Sinn Féin politician.
