Q1. X was a battle engagement that occurred in September 1961 where a
small contingent of Irish troops serving as part of the United Nations
peacekeeping mission in Congo was besieged by Katangese forces and
French mercenaries.
Sparing a few, most of the Irish forces were basically war newbies.
Although the Irish soldiers resisted Katangese attacks for five days while a
relief force attempted to reach them, they were eventually forced to
surrender.
The Irish government saw this as a mark of shame, charged them with
misconduct and did not honour the troops until a few years back. There’s a
movie which has been made on this very incident depicting the courage of
these young Irish soldiers. Name the movie.
