by Ger Browne
This is the first part of the Clare Revolution 1916-1923 project. It includes over 3,200+ Volunteer/IRA/ National Army Pension and Medal applications, with another 400+ for Cumann na mBan. It gives the Nominal Rolls for the East, West and Mid-Clare Brigades as well as the Clare Cumann na mBan (over 8,200 names in all). It also includes the Activity Files for each Brigade and links to the Clare Witness Statements and to the Clare County Library. Also available are valuable Court and RIC records from the period.The second part includes over 2,000+ profiles of all the RIC, Black and Tans and Auxiliaries in and from Clare for the period, along with details of all the 72+ Clare RIC Barracks, Huts and Protection Posts with the roll of officers in each one for each year from 1916-1921, their location, photos and maps, and a timeline of their attacks and closure. The British Army Regiments in Clare, their numbers, Barracks, location, photos and maps, along with some individual profiles will be added shortly.
The third part will give a list of civilians affected by the period, the destruction caused, along with a timeline and a list of the Revolutionary Dead (Pre and Post Treaty) including newspaper reports.
It is hoped to have this project completed by the 24th May 2023.
