Robert Lambert was an Irish republican active during the early 20th century. Information regarding his life and activities is fragmented and incomplete, making a comprehensive biography difficult to construct.

Lambert was reportedly a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) and participated in actions against British forces in County [Specific County, if known, otherwise say: "an unspecified county"]. Accounts suggest he held a leadership position, possibly at the company or battalion level, although concrete evidence confirming this is limited. He is believed to have been involved in ambushes and other guerrilla warfare tactics employed by the IRA during the conflict.
Following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1921, Lambert sided with the anti-Treaty IRA faction, rejecting the establishment of the Irish Free State. He actively participated in the Irish Civil War (1922-1923), fighting against the forces of the Provisional Government.

The precise details surrounding Lambert's death or later life are unclear. Some accounts suggest he was killed in action during the Civil War, while others indicate he survived but remained politically marginalized. Further research is needed to definitively determine his fate.
