It was open meaning a canvass roof which was pulled down. True I don't think anybody had much training as sort of VIP protection, but for ambushes yes. There were quite a few anti-Treaty people who were ex British army. The famous Sonny ONeill, not at the ambush but in the vicinity, as was Childers, an ex British Amy Major. Then you had Tom Barry, an ex BA Sergeant then in jail though, and believe it or not that side had a cavalry unit in Cork then. It was run by a cousin of Childers, I think Robinson, another ex BA Major. The real role of Dev in this would be interesting to know. Some people say that in those years he was very much under the influence of Childers. Pat Moylett, who then or a short time later became head of the IRB, when he tried to contact Dev about negotiations with Lloyd George he was conducting, he was told only go through Childers, or some other ex British army officers.</blockquote>
