Bachelor's Walk massacre

On 26 July 1914, King's Own Scottish Borderers opened fire on unarmed civilians on Bachelor's Walk, killing four people and wounding over thirty. The shooters marched back from a failed weapons seizure while the crowd baited them, yet a royal commission later declared the soldiers faced no danger sufficient to justify rifles. Mary Duffy, Patrick Quinn, James Brennan and Sylvester Pidgeon died for nothing but pride and panic.
