Charles Bowen-Colthurst was mentioned here a while back . The latest update from the excellent Cricket Bat that Died for Ireland gave even more information for the knowledge bank.
It also reminded me of this little cottage at Raleigh outside Macroom. When there a few months back, I bumped into RH who told me that it was originally the family home, a home of a family that would have had Republican leanings but if I looked through the railings on the window opes, I could see marks on the back walls.
I was told that these are from bullets fired from lorries leaving Macroom Barracks with Black & Tan soldiers on their way past – just shooting for fun into houses.
Over 90 years later, they are still there.
