At a recruiting rally in Dublin held in 1914 a call was made for 200 members of the R.I.C. to join the Irish Guards, over 7000 members of the R.I.C. throughout Ireland offered their services. Below is a list of some of the R.I.C. men and their service." / Jim Herlihy (https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/profile/117650) of https://www.irish-police.com did an amazing job listing 166 of the RIC policemen who died in WW1. These are now incorporated into this community. Any further contributions would be welcome.
