Taking revenge for an #IRA ambush in which six #police cadets were injured, several truck-loads of British soldiers, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1921, headed into a nearby town of #Headford, #CountyGalway, Ireland. There they burnt down eight buildings, including a convent & rectory.

The Milky Way lies low over Ross Errilly Friary near Headford, County Galway. A double satellite flare is visible to the right of centre at the top of frame.
We're starting back into Milky Way season. Hopefully I can get out more this year. Lucked out with a satellite flare.. it's actually a double flare, super interesting. #milkyway #rosserrillyfriary #headford #satelliteflare
