Ambush at Upton Station
The IRA ambush party of 14, led by Charlie Hurley (O/C, 3rd Cork Brigade) were expecting 12 to 15 British Army on the train but they were joined by nearly 50 more at Kinsale Junction. The IRA casualties were Pat O'Sullivan, Sean Phelan and Batt Falvey. Dan O'Mahony is also wounded (and dies a few years later from his wounds). Charlie Hurley is also badly wounded.
Memorial at Upton Junction to the three IRA men who were killed at the ambush - as can be seen from the inscription (below) no mention is made on the memorial of the civilian casualties.
