Bit, are these heroic ladies kin to you?

They are in spirit, mo chara but not in blood... All of my fierce warrior women are of South Armagh and Antrim
Sometimes a reminder is needed that Women made the charge...and paid a price..as well... in the fight for Freedom... There are still women speaking out for a United Ireland

I applaud your passion for this cause, Bit.

There are some members in my Grandfather's cousin's family who were reported to have had some part in the one of the events of the War for Independence. I was told that they were local heroes for their part yet none could tell me what that was, including a grand-niece. Some stories are never told and makes me wonder if anyone will ever know the scope of what transpired.
