Thursday, July 27, 1922. Midsummer Number.


Life magazine issued its mid summer edition.

Frank N. Rainey retired, somewhere.


"Fr. N. Rainey receiving a gold watch, presented by P.M.G. Hubert Work, in recognition of his 50 yrs. service in money order division. July 27, 1922"
 

Interesting how gold watches were a retirement tradition, but that seems to have passed.

105 men escaped Dundalk Gaol after the 4th Northern Division of the Irish Republican Army blasted a hole in the prison's walls.

On the same day, Oscar Traynor, an IRA officer, was arrested by the Free State.  He'd later go on to be Minister of Defense and then Minister of Justice for post World War Two Irish governments.

Adolf Hitler was released from prison.
