[QUOTE="valamhic, post: 9089, member: 111"] Ri Right. Had Collins arrived an hour earlier, there were possibly 40 anti treaty volunteers waiting. They could only have one objective and that was to kill as many of the troop as possible. They would also know that there would be a firefight and some of them would also be dead after it. The object of all those had to be to kill all and especially Collins. In that fight 20 of their numbers could be killed and 20 Collin's escort. Their hope was that luck would be on their side and they had more men than Collins had and they had the element of surprise. None of the 60 had any training or tactical expertise. Therefore the anti treaty squad were there to kill all or be killed trying to do it. [/QUOTE]
