Légende

The Irish Land League Agitation: Scots Greys charging the mob at Limerick, 1881. '...the riots at Limerick were of too desperate a character to be lightly regarded. The Scots Greys quartered in that town, on Sunday week had to charge the mob with drawn sabres, and to use their weapons in sharp earnest, before they could get the street cleared, as the police barrack was in danger of being stormed by a formidable host of assailants. But the rioters were completely quelled, and there is no likelihood of any persistent conflict with the military and the armed police...The whole affair, with its grotesque and its lamentable features, is intensely Irish, and seems, of course, excessively foolish and irrational to the colder judgment of an English mind'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
