He was a soldier in the Irish Free State Army which was fighting a civil war against the IRA. Erskine Childers took the IRA anti-treaty side in that war, was captured carrying a firearm, courtmartialled and sentenced to death. The British can be blamed for a lot of wrongs in Ireland but they did not shoot Childers. He was a victim of civil war.

According to other historians on the web Childers was shot by the Irish Free State during the course of the Irish civil war, technically for carrying a pistol; he was opposed to the Irish Free State which was supported by Collins. Thus he was not shot by the British government. Thanks for your time. Otherwise I like your web page. Would you please check and if necessary amend one fact?
