  • The battle of Bunclody or Newtownbarry as it was then called, was a battle in the Irish Rebellion of 1798, which took place on 1 June 1798 when a force of some 5,000 rebels led by Catholic priest Fr. Mogue Kearns attacked the garrison at Bunclody as part of the Wexford rebels campaign against border garrisons. The garrison was forewarned of the approaching rebels and had prepared defensive outposts facing the rebel line of advance. The rebel army occupied high ground to the west and stationed an artillery piece, captured in their victory over the military at the battle of Three Rocks, facing the approaches to town. As the bulk of the rebel army formed for the attack, their gunners opened an accurate fire on the exposed lines of soldiers who retreated into the cover of the town. Seizing the moment, the rebels quickly moved in, forcing the garrison to flee across the bridge into County Carlow but crucially, failed to occupy this approach to the town. The rebels now had an almost bloodless victory and numbers of them began to celebrate, roaming the town in search of plunder and enemies. As rebel discipline began to waver, trapped units of yeomen, some of whom had barricaded themselves into their own houses, opened fire on the unsuspecting rebels milling in the streets outside. Meanwhile, the garrison had paused in their retreat and upon hearing the sound of gunfire from the town, turned about and launched a surprise attack back across the bridge, which caught the rebels, distracted by the unexpected pockets of resistance, completely by surprise. In the rout that followed 400 of the rebels were killed and their army scattered for the loss of approximately the same number of the military. (en)
  • La batalla de Bunclody o Newtownbarry como se llamó entonces fue una batalla de la Rebelión irlandesa de 1798, que tuvo lugar el 1 de junio de 1798 cuando un grupo de 5000 rebeldes liderados por el sacerdote católico Fr. Mogue Kearns atacó la guarnición de Bunclody como parte de la campaña de los rebeldes en Wexford. La guarnición había sido advertida de la llegada de los rebeldes y había preparado posiciones defensivas para parar el avance irlandés. Los rebeldes ocuparon los altos de la zona oeste y situaron una pieza de artillería allí, capturada en la , apuntando a los accesos de la ciudad. Cuando el grueso de los rebeldes formó para iniciar el ataque, abrieron fuego sobre las líneas expuestas de los soldados, que se retiraron a la población. Aprovechando la oportunidad, los rebeldes se movieron con rapidez, obligando a la guarnición a huir hacia el Condado de Carlow pero no consiguieron tomar el puente de acceso. Los rebeldes obtuvieron una victoria casi sin derramamiento de sangre, y muchos de ellos comenzaron a celebrarlo, merodeando por la ciudad en busca de botín y enemigos. Cuando la disciplina de los rebeldes comenzó a relajarse, unidades de yeomen que se habían ocultado en sus casas, abrieron fuego contra los desprevenidos rebeldes. Entretanto, la guarnición se había detenido y, al oír disparos en la población, retrocedieron y lanzaron un ataque sorpresa contra los irlandeses que se hallaban ocupados luchando contra la resistencia en el interior de la ciudad, y les tomaron totalmente por sorpresa, matando a 400 de ellos y dispersando al resto sufriendo únicamente media docena de bajas. * Datos: Q4870593 (es)
