One of my great-grandmother's was from Cork, although she would have left the city, at age three, well before this time period.
On the same day, IRA men Joseph O'Sullivan and Reginald Dunne were executed in London for the June 22 assassination of Sir Henry Wilson.
The Sammarinese Fascist Party was founded by Giuliano Gozi. It would rule San Marino for twenty years, falling during the end of the Second World War, during which San Marino was a neutral tiny power.
