War of Independence map sheds light on battle against British forces

The first batch of British Auxiliary Police arrive at Cork Station in autumn 1920 to take up duty during the War of Independence.

The discovery of a unique map drawn up by an unknown IRA man during the War of Independence has shed significant light on the way Volunteers took the battle to British forces in Co Tipperary.

Late last year, the Tipperary County Archives received a unique map on loan from a local family who had protected it for decades. They have permitted its digitisation to ensure its detail is preserved for future generations.
