From www.biker.ie
You can see the new one hour documentary on the life of Dublin born Stanley Woods on the 29th of December at 7.30pm on RTE 2. Containing never seen before film & photos from Stanley's own Archive and with contributions from those people who knew him including Murray Walker ( Graham, his father raced against Stanley)- this documentary reveals aspects of his life & loves never made public before.

Commandant Stanley Woods ...........training some of the first Irish Army 4 Cavalry Squadron's Motor Squadron personnel during The Emergency.............

The Emergency? You really will have to explain that to the non Paddies.

The Emergency = Europe and the world fighting, known to the rest of the world as WW2.
Strangely no such euphuism was applied to WW1

The Troubles = Ireland at war with Ireland

The Rising = Ireland at war with England
