MilitaryArchive.ie - Release 20 now live

 Good to see another batch of records released by the Military Archives team. Another excellent job.

The offical details of the release are at 

Military Archives Release 20 

with a list of names available at

Release 20 Names and addresses

plus there is a brief synopsis of some interesting bits at :

Release 20 Highlights Part 1

Good to see some names with addresses in Harold's Cross and one person with a Knocklong address. Will have to delve into them soon.

Interesting to see a bit re John Pidgeon. His father Sylvester died a few months after being wounded at the Bachelors Walk massacre. His sister Eileen died just before his father (she wasn't injured at Bachelors Walk).



There is mention of a Hugh Mehlhorns father (Dresden born Viktor Hugo Mehlhorn aka Peter, 1869-1954) being interned in Odlcastle. This was used as an internment camp for people living in Ireland who were born in Germany, Austria etc and deemed "Enemy Aliens".


A couple of Mehlhorn references in Poor Law Guardian minutes :
