Bereik en inhoud
An Anti-Treaty handbill (black typescript on buff coloured paper), urging Free State soldiers to lay down their arms. It reads: ‘Ireland has one enemy, the infamous English enemy. She has tricked you, kindly, simple lads, as she tricked Irishmen all through the ages of war against her. … The Irish Republic is not dead. A hundred thousand armed men are in Ireland to-day ready to give their lives that it may live. You are killing them as the R.I.C. tried to kill you’.
