Book excerpt: This new, revised and expanded edition brings back into print an excellent resource for those interested in the history of the RIC and the revolutionary period generally. In the period 1816 to 1922 some 85,000 men served in the RIC and its predecessor forces. Information on all these policemen is available, constituting a quarry for their descendants in Ireland, the US and elsewhere. The book consists of chapters on the history of policing in Ireland (to illustrate the type of men in the Force, their background and their lifestyle etc.), followed by a section on 'Tracing your ancestors in the RIC'. New appendices to this edition identify members of the RIC who were rewarded for their service during the Young Ireland Rising, 1848; the Fenian Rising, 1867; the Easter Rising, 1916; and the War of Independence, 1919-21. Also members of the RIC who volunteered for service in the Mounted Staff Corps and the Commissariat during the Crimean War; members who served as drivers and orderlies on secondment to the Irish Hospital in the South African War in 1900; and members who served in the British Army in the First World War are identified. RIC recipients of the King George V, Coronation (Police) Medal, 1911; the Constabulary Medal; and the Kings Police Medal are listed, as are ex-RIC men who transferred to the Royal Ulster Constabulary in 1922 and received additional bravery medals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Royal Irish Constabulary It appears to us that the time has arrived when a complete History of the Irish Constabulary, not only may be, but ought to be written. Many of the younger members of the force - indeed many, perhaps, of those who can scarcely be called the younger members - know comparatively little of the origin and infancy of the force to which they belong. Many of those who joined it along with ourselves have left it altogether, and lost all interest in it except their quarter day's pension; while some - alas! not a few of our contemporaries - have passed away to that country where experience was born of God, and which no Act of Parliament can alter or 'amend.'

Excerpt: ... the history of the royal irish constabulary. chapter I. ppsition of matters previous to the formation of the constabulary. early half a century is a long time to look back upon, in describing the first formation of an institution; nevertheless, the origin, progress, and maturity of the Irish constabulary can readily be traced. It will not be necessary to enter into a minute detail of the several attempts which were made, from time to time, by the legislature, to form a system of police calculated to meet the requirements of the state of Ireland, at a period of from twenty to thirty years previous to the formation of the Irish constabulary. To give a short summary of the different Acts of Parliament which were passed with the pro A fessed object of preserving the peace, and a few of their leading provisions, will be sufficient--indeed one of them was universally known as 'the Peace Preservation Act.' In 1787, an Act was passed--the 27th of Geo. iii., ch. 40, entitled, 'An Act for the better Execution of the Law, and the Preservation of the Peace within Counties at large.' This Act empowered the Lord Lieutenant to appoint a chief constable to each one or more baronies; while the grand juries had power given to them to appoint sixteen sub-constables to each of the same districts; and it was a provision in the Act that they should be Protestants. They were entitled to a sum of three-pence a mile for the conveyance of all prisoners whom they might apprehend, f

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 12,566 men enlisted in the Dublin Metropolitan Police between the force's formation, in 1836, and its amalgamation with the Garda Siochana, in 1925. Herlihy is interested less in providing a formal history of the force, he writes, than in positioning the DMP in its historical context, showing the sort of men recruited to the force, describing the conditions they worked under, and supplying anecdotal information about a few members. A final chapter offers tips for descendants who want to trace their ancestors in the DMP. Herlihy is also the author of two books on the Royal Irish Constabulary. Distributed by ISBS. c.

Download or read book 46 Men Dead written by John Reynolds and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN JANUARY 1919, AT SOLOHEADBEG IN TIPPERARY, two members of the Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) were killed by the IRA. In the four bloody years that followed, nearly 500 RIC men were killed and hundreds more wounded. In Tipperary alone, 46 policemen were killed, making it one of most violent counties in Ireland. The popular image of the RIC is that they were the 'eyes and ears of Dublin Castle', an oppressive colonial force policing its fellow countrymen. But the truth is closer to home: many were Irishmen who joined because it was a secure job with prospects and a pension at the end of service. When confronted with a volunteer army of young and dedicated guerrilla fighters, it was unable to cope. When the conflict ended, the RIC was disbanded, not at the insistence of the Provisional Government, but of its own members. 46 Men Dead is a thought-provoking look at the grim reality of the conflict in Tipperary, a microcosm of the wider battle that was the War of Independence.

This book was released on 2018-11-16 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1912 the average Irish Constable was a generally useful member of society, filling in numerous forms in the role of minor bureaucrat, and pursuing petty criminals. He had little to do with firearms. By 1922 he had become an outcast to many and a friend to few. Those who thought his treatment unjust were generally unwilling to take the risk of saying so. This is the story of how an average country policeman was caught up in the swirl of political movements which led to murderous violence. I look at the social and political contexts of historical events. Caught between the hammer of IRA violence and the anvil of government obduracy, the regular constables became sacrifices to political expediency. Using the police career of John Hennigan as a framework, this book follows public events in chronological order while bringing to mind the little details of everyday live.
