    Irish armoured Lancia


    Over the years I have come across some Irish armoured lancia info and photos including a photo of the “Dublin Liz” and rather than just post them I thought I might wright something about them.
    Before I knew it I had nearly 3,000 words and 12 photos, some of the info and a couple of the photos have not been seen before and I managed to put dates and locations on some photos that have been doing the rounds for some time.
    I laid it out on a blog page because there is just too much text to post on the IMO and it looked all over the place when I tried.
    I welcome all comments on the IMO as my blog page is closed to comments.

        The Photo of the rail Lancia with a turrett at the the Inchicore railway works appeared in the Sunday Independent 03/12/1922. If you study the Parth video you will see both video and photo were taking at the same time.

            Brilliant blog Vintary, really enjoyed, fascinating information.
            We take pics and info on the Mowag etc for granted, because theres so much of it available online, in publications, etc, but the early years of the DF are relatively poorly chronicled. Its great to see something as well researched as this.

            Again, well done!!

                Interesting blog, and a great find of the newsreel!
                'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
                He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                  You would hardly pick up a book or magazine on the subject of the civil war or the vehicles used in the war that had not got an image of this scene. There has even been an excellent 1/35 scale model of OI 9213 built by a member of the IMO (genghismccann).

                  Two armoured Lancias and an 18pdr field gun at the junction of Henry Street and Sackville (O Connell) Street Dublin July 1922. On the receiving end of the salvos from the 18pdr is the strong hold of the Irregulars known as “the Block”, which included the Gresham hotel, Hamman hotel, Granville hotel, Mackey seeds limited and Tramway house
                  The Lancia on the left is OI 9173 “Ashtown” and on the right is OI 9213 which carries some chalked graffiti. On the front rad plate is the inscription “for goodness sake aim straight” ?” , on the side is the rather odd inscription roughly written in chalk “we have no time for trucers”, considering how well published this image is, there has been very little if any explanation regarding the graffiti on the side of OI 9213.

                  James Durney in him book “The civil war in Kildare” gives a brief description of what the chalked inscription “we have no time for trucers” is referred to.

                  I have added some new information to the blog page which mentions accidents involving Armoured Lancias and a couple of unseen photos.
                  Could have sworn I have seen the same photos were the word trucers was TRATORS

                    It has been misread before as "tucers" and im sure probably "trators" aswell.

                    I do not think that the close up "side on" photo in post 7 has been seen before.

                    Here is a another photo of the same scean.

                          These are for sale on ebay, they are illustrations/drawings of a armoured Lancia printed onto metal. I have an interest in the armoured Lancia so I’m inclined to gather up a lot of stuff on them.
                          There quit good and similar to the illustrations in B.T White’s and D. Bishop book’s on WW1 armoured vehicles.
                          (Just thought someone may be interested)

                            Very nice, Should someone do a set off all the vehicles from the period it would be a nice collection.
