He joined the flying column during the war of independence and was then on the rebel side opposed to the treaty during the civil war

The dates were a little off, it would have been very early 1920s if in the civil war, but still a Grand song. Cheers.

The Civil War was a tragic time in Irish history. There were no flying columns or Free Staters in 1916. History is a bit off here.

ssshhhhhh! not supposed to say that

[@tom79013]

@@danwebb4418 Didn't happen dude. Flying columns only came about in 1919/1920

[@gerardodwyer5908]

Wrong. There were flying columns across Munster, Leinster, Connacht and Ulster, established in 2014-2016 in anticipation of a guerrilla-led war post 1916 Rising. You're welcome.
