This brief newsreel was originally released on July 29th 1922 and depicts Civil War scenes in Limerick city. The Strand Barracks are shelled and burned out and a roofless Barracks Chapel is seen smouldering. These are the first pictures which show the organisation and established military system then under the command of General Michael Collins.
