dc.descriptionThis photograph purports to be the result of a military engagement in County Kerry (reported as the "Battle of Tralee"). The Illustrated London News of 27 November 1920 used the photograph on its front page with the following description: "The above photograph is typical of the state of things in the country. It was taken during the "battle of Tralee" where a convoy of R.I.C. Cadets was ambushed by Republicans. Three Sinn Feiners were killed and one cadet was wounded. The cadet and two of the Sinn Feiners are seen lying in the road". The photo was published in a number of other newspapers before the actual location was identified as Vico Road in Dalkey. The photograph was found to have been staged by members of RIC Intelligence. The British government was forced to admit in December 1920, in the House of Commons, that the photograph was faked.en_IE
