| Notes: | Title taken from inscription on mount 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. Photographic print (embossed with "W.D. Hogan, / 56 Henry St., / Dublin." lower right) of the shell of a pub; three youths are standing in the debris. The building next to the pub (McGrath's) was a wine, spirit and tea seller, and remained undamaged.
