Kidnapped by the I. R. A.
On 26 June 1920 Colonel Bertram William Young Danford, General Henry Tyndall Lucas, and a Colonel named Tyrrell were off to enjoy what they thought would be a quiet day of salmon fishing not far from the British military barracks at Fermoy, Ireland.
Although accounts differ a bit in the details, the three British officers were waylaid by four members of the Irish Republican Army - Liam Lynch, George Power, Sean Moylan, and Patrick Clancy. Although all three of the officers were veterans of the recently ended World War being outnumbered and surrounded, they saw the better part of valor and surrendered the revolvers they habitually carried to the Irish Republicans. An account of the kidnapping and its immediate aftermath appeared in the 28 June 1920 edition of The Times:
“The raiders, who arrived in two motorcars, took possession of General Lucas’s car and set off with their prisoners in the direction of Cork. Soon afterwards Colonel Danford made a courageous but unsuccessful attempt to escape.
