RIC - where to search for information
Just found out on the 1926 census that my great great grandfather was quite high up in the RIC, news to me and all my family as we have never heard any tales or stories growing up.
Where would be the best place to find out more information, I'm intrigued as he would have been serving during the Easter rising and the Irish war of independence. I have found some small bits online, as what station he was working in 1911 census and his badge number, so im hopeful this will help me learn more about him, possible pictures and even read some of his reports during those complicated years in Irelands history.
Really appreciate any suggestions. Thanks everyone 🇮🇪
