GHQ. At a meeting set up for 26 April 1921, when the manual of Infantry Training 1914 was produced it, the document, raised great anger. The meeting ended in uproar, when O'Hegarty who was "a master of invective, tore the communication and its authors to ribbons". O'Malley and Liam Lynch, the general, met with O'Hegarty in the mountains of West Cork, near a deserted farmhouse, just off the main road. In On Another Man's Wound O'Hegarty is described as wearing "a light-blue swallow-tail coat, and trousers, a heavy woollen coat, derby hat, with a twisted stick under his arm...he was bearded, mutton-chop whiskers." In the retreat that followed, the Irish lost heavy casualties, and left their wounded to the good care of the British. These were the "Round-ups" in which the Irish slept outside in order to avoid being at home when the Army called. They were told by Brigade to learn the English National Anthem to avoid arrest. In East Cork brigade O'Hegarty uncovered a spy ring. He was ruthless in the treatment of Mrs Georgina Lindsay and her chauffeur who gave away information to the Catholic clergy, but remarkably lenient on brigade traitors within. He was allegedly not too bothered about evidence; but was reminded that all executions of a traitor had to be approved by Dublin first. O'Hegarty became more and more aggressive towards the establishment, using tough language to impose his will over the area. He attempted to force the civilian TD's for Cork to stand down, to give way to military candidates, telling the Dáil in December 1921, that any TD voting for the treaty would be guilty of treason. But De Valera was decided, and overruled any interference with the Civil Government. Like the commanders De Valera rejected the treaty, but had already been defeated in the Dáil on a vote by Cosgrave's majority. On 1 February 1922, O'Hegarty married Maghdalen Ni Laoghaire (d.1940), who was a prominent member of Cumann na mBan. During the Civil War O'Hegarty was on the IRA's Executive Council, but when there was a meeting on 9 April 1922, it was proposed that the Army should oppose the elections by force: as a result Florence O'Donoghue, and Tom Hales joined O'Hegarty in resigning. In May, Hegarty and Dan Breen entered into negotiations with Free Stater Dick Mulcahy. A statement was published in the Press asking for unity and acceptance
