Capture of Upnor
According to Hart, some 400 rifles, 700 revolvers, 30 machines guns and 25,000 rounds of ammunition were got from the Upnor. Neeson gives much larger figures (and a quite detailed account of this escapade). Curran says that Collins was extremely upset over this incident as he thought the British were trying to ferment a civil war for their own purposes. (Sean O'Hegarty is to remain neutral during Civil War but, at this point, is on the anti-Treaty side.)
