Peter Mc RIC	Senior Officers with Company Flags	#1	[url]	[-]
Posts: 613 21-Oct-2010 10:23 PM Inspector-General	Senior officers of I Company (Vickers MC MM at centre), with their Auxiliary Company flags. Note one intrepid cadet is armed with an old African spear. This photo (courtesy Ballyroughan) was probably taken at Beggar's Bush before I Coy were moved to Monaghan. Members of this unit were involved in the Croke Park shootings. References to 'Black and Tan flags' can sometimes be found in the literature. It is recorded that one of the flags shown here flew over Carrickmacross RIC Barracks in 1921. Peter Mc Last Edited By: Peter Mc RIC 21-Oct-2010 10:32 PM. Edited 2 times.

The cadets are very interested in the ghost of some old Lord Blayney who is supposed to walk the grounds by night. They have searched for him, but in vain. It is thought that unmindful of the new conditions he must have tripped over the barbed wire entanglements placed there for the confusion of the I.R.A. and has retired to 'Black Island' situated in the middle of the lake where he can sulk to his hearts content with the banshees. The cadets have a goat there too. He answers to the name 'Eustace' and was considered loyal until a few nights ago when he was caught eating a copy of routine orders. He is now strongly suspected of being a Sinn Fein spy. CO904 Files, circa March 1921. Author unknown. Peter Mc
