The location of i building is not divulged. Neither is it known how General Lucas spent the night. He encount- ered the lorry which brought him to the Tipperary barracks at 9 o'clock the next morning near Gola, between Limerick and Tipperary. He was wearing civilian clothes, but was able to cogvince the soldiers of his identity. Shortly afte he was taken into the lorry it was held up by a party of Sinn Felners, and two soldiers were killed and three others wound- ed.

The solders alighted and maintained a stiff fight for half and hour until a second lorry ap- peared, when the assailants fled ac- ross the field, continuing the fire un- til they made their escape.
