  33y 7m	⚰️ Death	27 Jul 1920	- Bandon , Ireland
  What happened the night Thomas Maddox died was as follows. And bear in mind the both sides were conducting night assassinations The local IRA Brigade Intelligence Officer lived near the British Military Base at Bandon , Cork In Bandon there happened to be the Essex Regiment Intelligence Offer, Major Percival, better known for his surrender of Singapore to the Japanese in WW2) The British decided to pay the IRA IO a nighttime visit. Almost certainly to assassinate the IRA man. This was par for the course in Ireland by both sides. As background there were several attempts on Percival's life. There were two men on the mission, Percival and Maddox Percival says "I took a picked man and proceeded to the house of a local IRA leader which was situated only 500 yards from our barracks, with a view to watching it. On entering the garden a shot rang out and the man fell dead. Shot through the head by a fellow armed with a shotgun loaded with slugs. We had walked on to the top of an IRA piquet which was protecting the house" With just 2 men on the mission and one was Percival, the other was Maddox, one doubts that Percival would have taken anyone other than someone he would have trusted with his life The IRA say "The leading man was about 30 yards in front of the second. When the leader was within about 10 yards of our guard, fire was opened on him and he was killed. The second soldier then dashed away and escaped" There was, unusually, no inquest. Thomas Maddox's body was returned to England for burial There are 2 mentions in Witness Statements which tell the story from the IRA perspective- WS 1640 James Doyle Towards the end of July 1920, two men from my company (Kilpatrick) Michael Doyle and John Coveney were detailed for protection duty at the home of Sean Buckley (Brigade I.O.). A section of military made its appearance in the vicinity and our guard opened fire. The enemy suffered one casualty Lance Corporal Maddox killed. Our men withdrew having no casualties. WS 1638 Michael Riordan When Sergt. Mulherin, R.I.C. Intelligence Officer, was shot in Bandon on July 25th 1920, it was anticipated that enemy forces would take reprisal action. The home of the Brigade Intelligence Officer (Seán Buckley) was one of those likely to be attacked and arrangements were made to provide a guard in the vicinity of the house. With Jim Doyle of our company (Kilpatrick) I went to Frank Hurley's, Lauragh Tinker's Cross Company area. Accompanied by two or three men from the latter company, we moved on to the vicinity of Seán Buckley's where we remained for some time. There was no sign of any enemy activity, so we withdrew to our home areas. We were all armed with shotguns. This was on the night of July 25th. Similar procedure was followed by other members of the same companies (Tinker's Cross and Kilpatrick) on the following night, with like results. 0n the night of July 27th the representatives from Kilpatrick were: Michael Doyle and John Coveney. They had only just taken up their positions when two soldiers made their appearance. The leading man was about 30 yards in front of the second. When the leader was within about 10 yards of our guard, fire was opened on him and he was killed. The second soldier then dashed away and escaped. Our men withdrew without delay as they were within 100 yards of Bandon military post. The soldier who had been shot was later reported to be Lance Corporal Maddox, Essex Regiment There does not seem to have been an inquest - an inquest was the norm for deaths in Ireland. Presumably because it was an intelligence operation/
