I am researching the Castleisland Ambush on 10 Jul 1921
What I have is on this link - click (http://www.cairogang.com/soldiers-killed/castleisland/castleisland.html)
It is difficult to get information as it was hours before the Truce and neither side really said too much about it
Basically a patrol of about 20 North Lancs soldiers on curfew patrol were attacked by a IRA squad. At the end of the action 4 IRA and 4 British were dead.
I would like to try to fill in some of the details

Thanks for the link - I think that it too general.
What I am looking for is specific information on Castleisland

type in green and white box - Castleisland 1921

Thanks, but all that does is tell me what I get by typing "Castleisland 1921" into Google, that is links to Wikipedia.
What I am looking for is probably a local book/memoir that gives specific details of the ambush

You need to make a handful of posts on RootsChat before it lets you send personal messages. If you make a couple more, even dummy ones, you'll be allowed to send. It's spam-proofing!
