<p>By 1920, the IRA's Dublin headquarters, under the direction of <a href="/wiki/Michael_Collins_(Irish_leader)" title="Michael Collins (Irish leader)">Michael Collins</a>, had, through targeted assassination and intelligence penetration, effectively eliminated the G Division of the <a href="/wiki/Dublin_Metropolitan_Police" title="Dublin Metropolitan Police">Dublin Metropolitan Police</a>, previously the mainstay of the Crown's intelligence operations against Irish Republicans. In response, the <a href="/wiki/Dublin_Castle_administration_in_Ireland" class="mw-redirect" title="Dublin Castle administration in Ireland">Dublin Castle administration</a>, at that time the headquarters of the British government in <a href="/wiki/Ireland" title="Ireland">Ireland</a>, were forced to look for external intelligence support.
</p><p>In January 1920, the British Army Intelligence Centre in Ireland formed a special plain-clothes unit of 18 to 20 demobilised ex-army officers, and some officers still on active duty, to conduct clandestine operations against the IRA. The officers received training in London, most likely under the supervision of Special Branch, which had been part of Britain's Directorate of Home Intelligence since February 1919. They may also have received some training from <a href="/wiki/MI5" title="MI5">MI5</a> officers and former officers working for Special Branch. Army Centre in Dublin hoped these officers could eventually be divided up and deployed to the provinces to support its 5th and 6th Division intelligence staff, but it decided to keep the unit in Dublin, at the Dublin District Division, commanded by <a href="/wiki/Gerald_Boyd_(British_Army_officer)" title="Gerald Boyd (British Army officer)">General Gerald Boyd</a>. It was known officially as the Dublin District Special Branch (DDSB) and also as "D Branch". In May 1920, Lieutenant Colonel Walter Wilson arrived in Dublin to take command of D Branch.
</p><p>Following the events of Bloody Sunday, 21 November 1920, when twelve D Branch officers were assassinated by the <a href="/wiki/Irish_Republican_Army" title="Irish Republican Army">Irish Republican Army</a> under the command of <a href="/wiki/Michael_Collins_(Irish_leader)" title="Michael Collins (Irish leader)">Michael Collins</a>, D Branch was transferred to the command of Brigadier-General Sir <a href="/wiki/Ormonde_Winter" title="Ormonde Winter">Ormonde Winter</a> in January 1921. Winter had been placed in charge of a new police intelligence unit, the Combined Intelligence Service, in May 1920, and his charter was to set up a central intelligence clearing house to more effectively collate and coordinate army and police intelligence. Those members of D Branch who survived Bloody Sunday were very unhappy to be transferred from army command to CIS command and, for the next six months, until the <a href="/wiki/Truce_of_July_1921" class="mw-redirect" title="Truce of July 1921">Truce of July 1921</a>, D Branch continued to maintain regular contact with Army Intelligence Centre while undertaking missions for Winter's CIS.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2">&#91;2&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3">&#91;3&#93;</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4">&#91;4&#93;</a></sup>

<p>The famous photograph, that is purported to show members of the Cairo Gang, is lodged in the <a href="/wiki/National_Library_of_Ireland" title="National Library of Ireland">National Library of Ireland</a> photographic archive <a href="/wiki/Piaras_B%C3%A9asla%C3%AD" title="Piaras Béaslaí">Piaras Béaslaí</a> collection (five copies). An inscription describes the men as "the special gang F company Auxiliaries". The men in the photo are numbered, but there are no names or details on the back of the photos. Three other photos in the collection show Auxiliaries posing on vehicles in the grounds of <a href="/wiki/Dublin_Castle" title="Dublin Castle">Dublin Castle</a>. Those three photos are similarly numbered.
</p><p>The IRA Intelligence Department (IRAID) was receiving information from numerous well-placed sources, including <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Mernin" title="Elizabeth Mernin">Lily Mernin</a>, who was the confidential code clerk for British Army Intelligence Centre in Parkgate Street, and Sergeant Jerry Mannix, stationed in <a href="/wiki/Donnybrook,_Dublin" title="Donnybrook, Dublin">Donnybrook</a>. Mannix provided the IRAID with a list of names and addresses of all the members of the Cairo Gang. In addition, Michael Collins' case officers on the intelligence staff — <a href="/wiki/Liam_Tobin" title="Liam Tobin">Liam Tobin</a>, Tom Cullen and Frank Thornton — were meeting with several D Branch officers nightly, pretending to be informers. Another IRA penetration source, participating in the nightly repartee with the D Branch men at Cafe Cairo, Rabiatti's Saloon, and Kidds Back Pub, was Detective Constable <a href="/wiki/David_Neligan" title="David Neligan">David Neligan</a>, one of people Michael Collins had organised to penetrate <a href="/wiki/G-Division" class="mw-redirect" title="G-Division">G-Division</a>, the secret detectives of the <a href="/wiki/Dublin_Metropolitan_Police" title="Dublin Metropolitan Police">Dublin Metropolitan Police</a>. Additionally, the IRA had co-opted most of the Irish servants who worked in the rooming houses where the D Branch officers lived, and all of their comings and goings were meticulously recorded by servants and reported to Collins' staff.
</p><p>All the members of the Gang were kept under surveillance for several weeks, and intelligence was gathered from sympathisers, for example, who was coming home at strange hours, thereby indicating that they were being allowed through the <a href="/wiki/British_army" class="mw-redirect" title="British army">military</a> <a href="/wiki/Curfew" title="Curfew">curfew</a>. The IRA Dublin Brigade and the IRAID then pooled their resources and intelligence to draw up their own hit list of suspected Gang members, and set the date for the assassinations to be carried out as <a href="/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Irish_War_of_Independence" title="Timeline of the Irish War of Independence">21 November 1920</a>, at 9:00&#160;am.

<p>The operation was planned by several senior IRA members, including Michael Collins, <a href="/wiki/Dick_McKee" title="Dick McKee">Dick McKee</a>, <a href="/wiki/Liam_Tobin" title="Liam Tobin">Liam Tobin</a>, <a href="/wiki/Peadar_Clancy" title="Peadar Clancy">Peadar Clancy</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Tom_Cullen_(Irish_nationalist)&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Tom Cullen (Irish nationalist) (page does not exist)">Tom Cullen</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Frank_Thornton_(Irish_nationalist)&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Frank Thornton (Irish nationalist) (page does not exist)">Frank Thornton</a> and <a href="/wiki/Oscar_Traynor" title="Oscar Traynor">Oscar Traynor</a>.

</p><p>Clancy and McKee were picked up by Crown forces on the evening of Saturday, 20 November. They were tortured and later shot dead "while trying to escape". Tortured and killed with them was Conor Clune, the nephew of Archbishop <a href="/wiki/Patrick_Clune" title="Patrick Clune">Clune</a> of <a href="/wiki/Perth,_Western_Australia" class="mw-redirect" title="Perth, Western Australia">Perth</a>, who had been senior chaplain to the Catholic members of the <a href="/wiki/First_Australian_Imperial_Force" title="First Australian Imperial Force">Australian Imperial Force</a> in World War I.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5">&#91;5&#93;</a></sup> Clune was manager of the seed and plant nursery owned by <a href="/wiki/Edward_MacLysaght" title="Edward MacLysaght">Edward MacLysaght</a> near Quin, and Clune and MacLysaght travelled to Dublin on the morning of Saturday, 20 November 1920, bringing with him the books of the Raheen Co-op for its annual audit. Clune was arrested in a raid on Vaughan's Hotel in Dublin, where he was a registered guest.

<p>The operation began at 9:00&#160;am, when members of the Squad entered 28 Pembroke Street.

Woodcock was not connected with intelligence and had walked into a confrontation on the first floor of the Pembroke Street house as he was preparing to leave to command a regimental parade at army headquarters. He was in his military uniform and, when he shouted to warn the other five British officers living in the house, he was shot in the shoulder and back, but survived. As Keenlyside was about to be shot, a struggle ensued between his wife and Mick O'Hanlon. The leader of the unit, Mick Flanagan, arrived, pushed Mrs Keenlyside out of the way and shot her husband.
