		But while Childers, at least at this early juncture, never openly questioned the rectitude of British imperialist attitudes, it is entirely possible that his conversations with Boer prisoners first led him to ponder the fundamental dichotomy between his own love of freedom and the nature of empire (Knight xi).
		Childers aligned himself with the Irish in the south and, due to his convictions, even engaged in a bit of gun running for the Irish Volunteers.
		Childers was armed with the ivory handled, miniature.32 calibre Spanish automatic pistol presented to him by Michael Collins, but did not fire, fearing that some of the non-combatants in the house might be injured.
