Ireland’s war for independence from 1919 onwards often needs to be studied as a series of local conflicts. The Irish Republican Army organised into divisions on a regional basis. It’s 4th Northern Division spanned parts of Counties Louth, Armagh and Down and the borders of Antrim, Monaghan and Tyrone. It was led by Frank Aiken, future IRA Chief of Staff and government minister and then fragmented by partition.
This book gathers together surviving records for the division and a chronological record of activities in its area from 1913 to the mid-1920s, from archival and newspaper sources, along with full membership rolls for Cumann na mBan, the Fianna and IRA.
