Cumann na mBan
Irish Civil War: Cumann na mBan North Dublin Union, a typed 1 page Letter to Miss Coyle, Prisoners' Commandant, signed by the Prison Governor, T. O'Neill, on official Irish Army embossed notepaper with "Governor's Office. Oglaig na hEireann 21st August 1923" hand stamp in purple in top left corner, re stopping of prisoners' mail for 21 days as a punishment for an attempt to "escape by means of tunnelling" Some creasing otherwise good condition and rare.
Eithne Coyle, a prominent Cumann na mBan activist, was from Kilternan, Co. Roscommon. At her Field General Court Martial, in Kilmainham Courthouse, she replied to the charges against her in Gaelic and nonchalantly read a newspaper while evidence was being given against her. She was Commandant of one of the dormitory wings of the North Dublin Union during her internment.
Ex. Rare.
