Which is near the border!

@schizoidboy Also you notice he is carrying a bayonet on his rifle. Unless he was a member of the Irish Volunteers he wouldn't have had training to use a bayonet if he was in the IRA. Something else to remember after the British left and the civil war started both sides claimed to be the legitimate IRA.

@ThatGingerGuy93 From what I read in the Osprey book on the Irish Army not all the Free State soldiers would have had uniforms and so the trench coat and fedora would have been the closest that could have filled in for a uniform at the time. You do have to keep in mind that many of the Free State were former IRA members or Irish Volunteers.

Yes, this is Irish Free State troops in action. Why do we suppose this is a BORDER? activity? Provenance please? This is not the IRA I would argue. Wonderful footage, even then FG and its army wanted to keep the Nordie out.

The first man is wearing the uniform of the IRA (trenchcoat, brimmer, Sam Browne) but the others are wearing Free State uniform.
