EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in Irish history as Éamon de Valera, President of Sinn Fein, salutes I.R.A. troops at Six Mile Bridge, County Clare, during a review in 1921. The Anglo-Irish Treaty, signed on December 6, 1921, brought an end to the Irish War of Independence and established the Irish Free State, a self-governing dominion within the British Empire. The Treaty, however, did not satisfy all nationalist factions, particularly those in the north who sought a united Irish Republic. De Valera, who had been imprisoned by the British during the conflict, was released in December 1921 and became a key figure in the negotiations. Despite his initial opposition to the Treaty, he eventually agreed to lead the new Irish Free State government. The troops in this image, marching in disciplined ranks, reflect the transformation of the I.R.A. from a revolutionary force to a national army. The scene at Six Mile Bridge symbolizes the fragile peace that followed the Treaty, as well as the ongoing struggle for a fully independent Irish Republic. This photograph, published in Illustrated, London News in 1921, offers a glimpse into the complex political landscape of post-Treaty Ireland. The image's historical significance is further underscored by the presence of de Valera, a central figure in both the Irish independence movement and the subsequent establishment of the Irish Free State.
