Link to "www.google.co.uk" This is supposed to be a Crossley but I think may be a mock-up. |

The ones in the newsreel footage will be real though. |

The Army, and the RFC/RAF used many Crossleys so the Black and Tans in the old footage are without doubt Crossley mounted. If you compare the first "original" thumbnail with the last one from the picture, where the vehicle is behind a motorbike, there are some differences, especially around the shape of the front axle and the dumb irons which suggest a mock-up on a more modern chassis, but I may be wrong about this. |

Or is this the alternate body for the (genuine) 1915 Crossley bus?? |

The documentary miniseries, The Irish Revolution (narrated by Cillian Murphy) had featured archive footage of interviews taken sometime between the late 1940s (after the Second World War) and early 1970s with those who lived through the Easter Rising, the Irish War of Independence and the Irish Civil War, including former members of the Irish Volunteers, the Irish Republican Brotherhood (the forerunner to the IRA), Cumann na mBan (the Irishwomen Council), The British Army, the Royal Irish Constabulary "Black and Tans" paramilitary and the ordinary civilians. According one of those interviewed, they said the Irish civilians living in the small rural towns during the Irish War of Independence, would try to run and hide everytime they would see a Crossley Tender coming towards them. -- Last edit: 2024-10-25 10:51:44 |
