How a fruit cake helped the future president of Ireland escape Lincoln prison

1919 was turbulent time for Irish politics as much of the 20th century was, but in 1918 Irish rebels were wrongly put in prison and this made for a very elaborate prison break. Éamon De Valera was president of Sinn Fein and with the aid of Michael Collins (not in prison) they forged an escape plan for the most senior member of Irish independence politics - its one story that happened in my city out of many stories that forged the strive for Irish independence. The caveat to this story... the rebels were due to be released from prison in a matter of days, but they wanted and needed the publicity of the prison escape (for a wrongful crime) to aid their fight for independence. — Pictures — Lincolnshire heritage Getty images Irish Post Irish museum John O’ Bryan Irish times Irish America BBC UCD Archives — Music used — Beautiful Oblivion by Scott Buckley |   / scottbuckley   Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
