| Notes: | Photographic print (with "W.D. Hogan/ 56, Henry S[t.]/ DUBLIN" embossed on it, lower right). Title taken from caption written on mount (by Fr. Wilson?) underneath print. During the War of Independence, Templemore was occupied by both the Royal Irish Constabulary Special Reserve (Black & Tans) & Auxiliary Division Royal Irish Constabulary (ADRIC). The 1st battalion of the Northamptonshire regiment occupied Richmond Barracks from 1919-1921, and on two occasions the Regiment carried out reprisals in Templemore, once for the shooting of RIC District Inspector Wilson by the I.R.A, and on a second occasion to avenge an IRA ambush which killed soldiers. The Town Hall and several shops were burnt down and much property destroyed. Physical description: 1 photograph : gelatin silver print ; 13.9 x 19.1 cm.
