Ireland-- June 30, 1922
Ninety one years ago, the disastrous bombardment of Dublin's Four Courts building began. By the next day, June 30th, the Public Records Office was in flames. A member of the anti-treaty forces, who tragically had stored their ammunition inside the office, described what he saw, "fluttering up and down against the black mass were heaves of white paper; they looked like hovering white birds. A half burnt volume fell at my feet."
