This also interests me!  My g-grandfather's marriage certificate listed him as living at the Athlone army barracks in 1901 and stated that he was a driver for the 9th battery, Royal Field Artillery.  His name was Ernest Mills and he married Agnes Kennedy on May 25, 1901 in Athlone.  I know that he ended up going to South Africa to fight in the Boer War.

I would love to know how I could find out more about him - were the army barracks included in the 1901 census?  Is there a way of finding his army record?
