EDITORS COMMENTS
The historic moment captured in this print takes us back to January 16,1922, when the Auxiliary Police bid farewell to Dublin. The image showcases the last roll-call at Beggars Bush Barracks before H and C Companies of the Auxiliary Police embarked on their journey to Holyhead for demobilization. In this poignant scene, a line-up of Irish policemen stands in perfect attention, donning their distinctive berets that symbolize their role as auxiliaries in Southern Ireland. These brave men were part of the Auxilliary Division of the Royal Irish Constabulary, a paramilitary force established during troubled times. The photograph's monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and authenticity to this significant event from twentieth-century history. Preserved by Central News, it serves as a powerful reminder of Ireland's past struggles and its path towards independence. As we gaze upon these resolute faces frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by these individuals but also of the complex political climate they operated within. This image is a testament to their dedication and commitment during challenging times. Let us reflect on this snapshot from our shared European heritage with respect for those who served as auxiliary police officers in Dublin during this transformative era.
