			<link>http://irishconstabulary.com/topic/747/t/Tudor-s-Toughs-a-new-book-on-the-Auxiliary-Division-RIC.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Forum member&nbsp;Ernest McCall&nbsp;is about to publish a new book on the Auxiliaries&nbsp;-&nbsp;"Tudor's Toughs - A study of the Auxiliary Division Royal Irish Constabulary 1920-1922".<br><br>I've not been given a copy to review but I'm told there are over 100 photographs in this with some in colour. At the very least it should make a very informative reference copy and will add to the body of knowledge about the world's first mobile counter-insurgency force.<br><br>Copies can be ordered in advance by sending a cheque for £20 sterling&nbsp;payable to Ernest McCall to "Tudor's Toughs, PO Box 262, Newtonards, Belfast BT23 9DP (Northern Ireland, UK)". The price if bought in a shop will be £25.<br>

This is nothing to do with the RIC but is a subject I feel needs as much publicity as we can possibly give it. Please watch and keep Maddy&#39;s face in your
minds, you never know if and when you may be able to help.

			<title><![CDATA[ Research resources and help notes ]]></title>
			<link>http://irishconstabulary.com/topic/487/t/Research-resources-and-help-notes.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ In this topic I will attempt to give researchers some pointers to further their interest in the Irish Constabularies. I will add to and edit this topic from
time to time.
<br>
<br>
<strong><u>Research material</u></strong>
<br>
<strong>1. Books</strong>
<br>
1.1 Jim Herlihy has written a number of books about the RIC. This one is excellent: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fourcourtspress.ie/product.php?intProductID=292">&quot;The Royal Irish Constabulary - A short history and genealogical guide&quot;</a> 1997. Worth
getting or looking at a copy if you want to read more about the history of the RIC.
<br>
<br>
1.2 Jim has also compiled an index of names and service numbers <a href="http://www.fourcourtspress.ie/product.php?intProductID=273">&quot;A complete
alphabetical list of Officers and Men&quot;.</a> It has no details other than the name and number of the men. I use it regularly as a guide, but please note
that there may be inaccuracies in this carried over from mis-spellings... ]]></description>
