EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the arrival of auxiliaries at Beggars Bush Barracks in Dublin for demobilisation on 16 January 1922. The image, taken by Central News, showcases a group of paramilitary officers carrying their kit bags and donning berets as they prepare to conclude their service with the Auxiliary Division of the Royal Irish Constabulary (ADRIC). The photograph provides a glimpse into the tumultuous times of early twentieth-century Ireland, where political tensions were high and conflicts between different factions were prevalent. The demobilisation process represented a turning point in this period, marking an end to the auxiliary forces' involvement in local affairs. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing both the solemnity and significance of this particular event. As we observe these men standing together outside Beggars Bush Barracks, it is impossible not to wonder about their individual stories - what experiences have shaped them during their time serving as auxiliaries? This powerful image serves as a reminder of how historical photography can transport us back in time, allowing us to witness pivotal moments that have shaped our world today. It also highlights Europeana Photography's commitment to preserving such valuable visual records for future generations.
