kildaremark Posted 9 May , 2022 Share Posted 9 May , 2022 Yes, you read it correct. Searching my grandfather James McLoughlin in the RGA to see if he was in England in 1921 and I found him - except the post he is stationed at is an army census return for Cork!! I wonder is the entire army in Ireland recorded in the 1921 census or this an anomaly! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith_history_buff Posted 9 May , 2022 Share Posted 9 May , 2022 1st Battalion South Wales Borderers are on the census, being deployed in County Meath, it being an overseas deployment which is not in England or Wales. This would be the second census with a British Army Overseas element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
