The farmer found him the next day. He and his family had just returned to their cottage, after hearing the news a treaty had been reached between Britain and Ireland. All British troops were pulling out of the country. The Black and Tans were to be the first units to leave.

The man’s ears had been cut off, and most of his nose. Half his skull was crushed. His hands had been shattered. The farmer squatted beside the body and examined the pockets, looking for identification, as he doubted anyone would be able to recognize the poor sod’s face. The grass around him was dark and slick. The farmer found nothing with the stranger’s name on it, only a bloodstained envelope.
