Twitter has its uses. Today I found out about this fascinating gentlemen there:
22 Aug 1922: Irish revolutionary leader Michael #Collins, the Commander of Irish Free State Army, is killed in an ambush during the Irish Civil War by those opposed to the Anglo-Irish Treaty. He was laid in state for three days in #Dublin. #Ireland#adhttps://t.co/7gYMKhmaNgpic.twitter.com/5FWFOwVmDa
15 or so years ago there was a pretty good biopic about him with Liam Neeson in the title role.
