25 July-5 August 1922: The Battle of Kilmallock—The Provisional Government's National Army, having taken Limerick from the anti-Treaty Irish Republican Army, pursued the I.R.A. to a triangle between Bruff, Bruree, & Kilmallock; the I.R.A. counterattacked, but retreated when National Army reinforcements arrived; the war's conventional phase soon ended, giving way to guerrilla warfare.
