The Mail of the Irish Military Camps: 1902–1947 and later: An important balance specialised collection of the postal history of the Irish Military Camps mounted and partly written up in english or german on more than 70 pages, an area
intimately connected with Ireland’s military history and its movement towards independence.
Approximately twelve military Camp Post Offices operated in Ireland. However, this collection includes items from the following Camps: Aglish Camp, Baldonnel Camp, Ballykindler Camp, Ballivonear Camp, Clandeboye Camp, Coolmoney Camp, Finner Camp,
Glen Imaal Camp, Gormanstown Camp, Kilbride Camp, Kilworth Camp, Lisnegar Camp, Luddan Camp, Magilligan Camp, Moore Park Camp, Shanes Park Camp etc.. Their development reflects the changing presence and organisation of the British military
establishment in Ireland during a period of profound political and social change.
Following the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, many of these camps and their associated post offices were disbanded or lost much of their former military postal significance. Curragh Camp and Ballykinler Camp were notable exceptions,
continuing to play important military roles.
This wonderfull accumulation, formed from a major research holding devoted to the subject, concentrates on the incoming and outgoing mail of the Irish Military Camps and documents the development, usage and rarity of their distinctive postal
markings.
A particularly significant assembly in a comparatively little-researched field of Irish postal history, combining postal, military and social history and offering considerable potential for further study and expansion. (Image 1)

The Mail of the Irish Military Camps – Curragh Camp: 1857–Modern
The Curragh Camp, County Kildare, Ireland’s best-known military camp, became the principal British military training centre in Ireland during the 19th century. Its Post Office handled extensive soldiers’ and official correspondence, producing a
fascinating succession of distinctive Curragh Camp cancellations. After independence in 1922, the camp continued as a major establishment of the Irish Defence Forces.
An attractive and highly specialised balance collection, neatly mounted and extensively written up in German on over 76 album pages, presenting a comprehensive study of Curragh Camp postal history through both departure and arrival markings. The
remarkable range of postmarks includes double-arc datestamps; single-arc and single-ring duplexes with numeral “455”; single-ring circular datestamps in various sizes; double-ring and skeleton datestamps; large single-ring skeletons; double-ring
types with cross; and CURRAGH CAMP M.O. & S.B. markings, together with the later CURRACH CHILL DARA types and numerous other cancellations.
The collection is further enhanced by an interesting range of official mail, telegraph receipts, Red Cross military internee correspondence, Internment Camp violet cachets from the 1957–59 period, and numerous later special Camp cachets and
associated material.
A substantial and fascinating assembly of Curragh Camp postal history, offering considerable scope for further specialist study, research and expansion. (Image
