THE BLACKSMITH OF BALLINALEE
An original photographic print circa 4 ins x 6 ins showing a large group of uniformed Free State soldiers and a few civilians, posed around an 18-pounder gun, probably during the Truce in 1922, a medieval abbey behind them. The tall officer in back row second from left is probably General Sean Mac Eoin, the blacksmith of Ballinalee. The signing of the truce agreement was delayed by Michael Collins until the British agreed to release Gen. Mac Eoin, who was in prison under sentence of death.
