Thank you for the response. There does not seem to be an archive available online - it is unclear to me what kind of records were kept or if they have been located elsewhere in the meantime.

The Common Room / Prison Record Assistance 1916
« on: Sunday 30 March 25 17:27 BST (UK)  »
Hi all. I am working on a personal project of a relative that was imprisoned as part of the deportations from Dublin in 1916. His name was Richard McCormick (sometimes spelled McCormack) and deported from Richmond Barracks, Dublin on April 30th and lodged at Knutsford Detention Centre on May 1st. Thereafter, he was transferred to Frongach in Wales, and eventually to Reading Gaol prior to amnesty.

What I seek are the dates of residence in each of these prisons, and any associated records for my research. Most of all, and this would dramatically assist me further, would be if any kind of prison photo exists, a mugshot so to speak. This would allow me identify him in other photographs where there is high certainty he is present.

Appreciate your time to read my request.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help Deciphering Military Record
« on: Sunday 30 March 25 17:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi all, would it be possible to have some assistance in deciphering the attached military record of a relative in the Royal Irish Fusiliers? I can see some instances of insubordination but would appreciate if the abbreviations could be translated. Some of the handwriting is also difficult to ascertain as the phrases are quite specific to the military lexicon of the time (pre-1900). For example, it is unclear to me if it is one charge fo striking the superior officer or multiple incidents. The charge on 30th June is also very unclear to me. Many thanks for any assistance!
