Irish Free State Army officers and men outside the Royal Hotel (Limerick); some are smoking and one is sporting an injured arm; the group includes two clergymen and some civilians; the hotel was fortified with a barricade, wire and sandbags. INCREDIBLE images of Ireland???s Civil War have been brought into the twenty-first century after being expertly colourised. The stunning colour pictures show Irish revolutionary leader Michael Collins posing for the camera and his coffin, draped in the Irish tricolour at his funeral after he was assassinated. Other rare photographs show soldiers of the Irish Free State Army taking a break in the capital city Dublin, a soldier in a firing position as he searches a badly damaged house and a young girl wearing an ill-fitting coat looking into the camera. The war-time snaps were painstakingly colourised by photographer and colourist John O???Byrne from Rathangan, Kildare, Ireland. John O???Byrne / mediadrumworld.com
