Richmond Barracks, Inchicore, Dublin

British Army Troops on the parade ground at Richmond Barracks in Dublin, circa 1910. The Barracks were home to the Royal Iniskilling Fusiliers, one of whom, the poet Francis Ledwidge, wrote a 'Lament for Thomas MacDonagh', who was executed after the Easter Rising. Ledwidge was himself killed in France, at the third battle of Ypres, in July 1917.

After the Easter Rising, British forces designated Dublin's Richmond Barracks in Inchicore as the central holding place for captured or suspected rebels. Many of these prisoners were sent on to prison camps in England or Wales. Six of the Signatories of the Proclamation were court-martialed and sentenced to death in Richmond Barracks.
