This stunning group photograph of the County Westmeath Force is from the family collection of Tom Wilkinson. It shows the remaining members of the County at disbandment in Mullingar Barracks, March 15th 1922. Seated centre are the senior officers and (in civilian clothes) the Divisional Commissioner, Brigadier-General Netterville Guy Barron C.M.G., D.S.O.
The photograph, originally torn and damaged by children,  was superbly restored by Christine Downes BA.
