HUGH.MCTIGUE Read "The Tan War" by MIchael Lally (2008) It gives a good account of the ambush at Tourmakeady. My grandfather P Hallinan was one of the two men arrested after the ambush. The author has access to the photo you desire. I also saw it hanging in the new Irish Life museum near Castlebar Ireland on my recent visit. Terry O' Brien is listed in the book.

The picture you show of a Mayo Flying Column is not correct in this context. It is of the West Mayo Brigade Flying Column who fought at Carrowkennedy. This picture was taken at 2315 hrs on 21 June. The South Mayo Brigade Column was at Tourmakeady. They certainly did NOT face 600 troops and they lost many weapons in addition to the '6 shotguns'.
