Royal Irish Rifles - Other Ranks PoWs 1914

There are 165 men on this list of men from the Royal Irish Rifles who were captured by the Germans on or before Christmas Day 1914. I have transcribed this data from the following Imperial War Museum collection:

B.O.2 1/142: a twelve-page handwritten list of Royal Irish Rifles Other Ranks taken prisoner before Christmas 1914.

My full transcription of these men (not reproduced here) also contains the home address and/or next of kin address of all of the men. 

The full transcription is available for sale for £25. Contact me if you would like to purchase a copy.

For more information about these so-called 'Princess Mary tin PoWs' see my 1914 PoWs page. The majority of these men will also have records published by the International Committee of the Red Cross. Searching is free; finding your man is another matter entirely.

I research soldiers!
