New in : Royal Irish Constabulary Silver medal of Merit, issued to Constable James Glynn 66915 in 1920.

James got caught in an IRA ambush in February 1920 on Crowe's Bridge, near Ennis in County Clare.

He was one of a number of RIC officers on bicycles ambushed by gunmen on the bridge, close to the Maurice's Mills barracks where he was based.
A newspaper cutting from the time reads: "Constable Glynn had the strap of his cap severed at the side and a second bullet passed through the peak of his cap." A number of bullets also struck his bicycle, but miraculously he was not injured.
The policemen, were able to return fire and one of the IRA men who attacked them - Martin Devitt - was killed.
Today a memorial to Martin Devitt stands at the scene - which says he died fighting British forces. 🍀 #1920
