Photocopy of a letter from Fr. Michael O'Shea OFM Cap., Capuchin Franciscan College, Rochestown, County Cork, to Winifred Etheridge, c/o Major F.

Nota
In July 1922 the Free State Army landed at Passage West with the intention of capturing Cork city from the Anti-Treaty irregulars. On 9 August 1922, Free State forces fought a day-long battle with approximately two-hundred irregulars. Resistance was finally broken when Captains Peadar Conlon and Frank O’Friel led twelve men in an attack on the last remaining republican stronghold. By the end of the day, seven republicans and nine Free State soldiers had been killed. The Free State success at Rochestown enabled them to advance on Cork relatively unopposed.
