| Summary: | Wilful Murder. Lt. John Hubert Wogan-Browne, Kildare, 10 February 1922, written by Mark McLoughlin, is the latest publication to be produced as part of the Kildare Decade of Commemorations Programme. On 10 February 1922, a British Army officer, Lt. Wogan-Browne, was shot dead during a robbery in Kildare town. The murder sent shockwaves through the local community and contributed to a crisis in Anglo-Irish relations. British troop withdrawals were suspended and there was outrage at Westminster. The Irish Republican Army, British Army and Royal Irish Constabulary combined to search for the culprits, while General Michael Collins sought to reassure Winston Churchill that everything was being done to catch those responsible: #x80;Have just been informed by telephone that we have captured three of those responsible for the attack on Lieutenant Wogan-Browne. Everyone, civilian and soldier, has co-operated in tracking those responsible for abominable action. You may rely on it that those whom we can prove guilty will be suitably dealt with.รข#x80;#x99; This account by Mark McLoughlin poignantly reflects on this incident of local and national history and is being published to coincide with the centenary of the murder. |
