Constabulary Heroes 1826 to 2009

This fine and long overdue book by Sam Trotter records the long line of Irish police officers killed from 1826 to 2009 in the bottle-green uniformed RIC [ Royal Irish Constabulary ], a force most of whom were Southern Irish farmer's sons, including even most of those serving in Belfast in 1911, and those killed from 1922 in its successor, the RUC [ Royal Ulster Constabulary ] and recently known as the PSNI [ Police Service of Northern Ireland ]. Over 72,000 of over 85,000 who served in the RIC were born in Ireland, as were 12,500 who served in the navy-blue uniformed DMP [ Dublin Metropolitan Police ]. This book is available at only £25 plus £5 p&p, from Peter McCaughan, Impact Printing, Leyland Road, Ballycastle, BT54 6EZ County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Telephone 028 2076 2469
