Today in History

Irish forces reclaim Bere Island, Lough Swilly in Donegal
Treaty ports under nominal British control since  the signing of the treaty. They had been neglected

 Strictly speaking Belfast was a treaty point. A feint by David Lloyd George or a safeguard for the Admiralty if Irish unity ever emerged

Churchill never forgave Chamberlain signing over the Treaty ports
