Coniston massacre
The Coniston massacre, which took place near the Coniston cattle station in the then Territory of Central Australia (now the Northern Territory) from 14 August to 18 October 1928, was the last known officially sanctioned massacre of Indigenous Australians and one of the last events of the Australian Frontier Wars. People of the Warlpiri, Anmatyerre, and Kaytetye groups were killed. The massacre occurred in revenge for the death of dingo hunter Frederick Brooks, killed by Aboriginal people in August 1928 at a place now known as "Yukurru", also known as Brooks Soak.
Irish Brigade (France)
Of the two senior Dillon officers who remained in the French army, Theobald was killed by his soldiers when in retreat in 1792 and Arthur was executed in 1794 during The Terror. In 1793 the former Dillon Regiment was split into the 157th and 158th Line regiments. In 1803, the Irish Legion was formed by Napoleon Bonaparte for Irishmen willing to take part in a future invasion of Ireland.Stephen McGarry's "Irish Brigades Abroad" (Dublin, 2013 Kindle edition, paperback May 2014) is a new book on the subject and finally updates John Cornelius O'Callaghan's "History of the Irish Brigades in the Service of France" (London, 1870). Mark McLaughlin's "The Wild Geese", (London, 1980) was published by Osprey as part of their Men-at-Arms series provides an introduction to the subject.
