Remembered Today:

Buttevant Barracks and Ballyvonare Camp Handover


Salkind

Recommended Posts

I am researching the handover of both Buttevant Military Barracks and the nearby Ballyvonare Camp to Republican Forces in February 1922. In Buttevant the handover was from the 2nd Batt East Lancashire Rgmt and at Ballyvonare from the 2nd Batt Cheshire Rgmt. I am particularly interested in the personnel of both regiments involved in the official handover ceremony and any details or descriptions of same and if any photographs may exist. I know the E. Lancs were moved to Londonderry but am unaware of the destination of the Cheshire Batt. The Macine Gun Corps were also stationed at Ballyvonare but would appear to have been evacuated a few days previous to the handerover. Any help or guidance much appreciated.
