A fascinating collection from a Young Officer Soldier that were written during the various riots in Limerick in 1882. These documents are important as Charles Clifford Lloyd's Irish career reached its zenith in early 1882. By this time, throughout Ireland, the army commonly provided the main part of forces assembled for potential riot situations. Lloyd took this a step further: almost at once on becoming a special RM, he overcame the reluctance of the military authorities to disperse troops and obtained the loan of selected soldiers for use in very small posts or on personal protection duties, freeing the police for patrolling. He also took an initiative in rationing the use of the security forces in protecting ejectments and evictions. Lieutenant Colonel Francis Charles Trollope 1857-1913.
