1 Headquarters:- 14a High Street, Belfast, 19th April, 1916 Dear Mr. Anderson, Many thanks for your letter of the 18th
inst. The work that the Belfast Corps is doing
was undertaken at the request of the Military Authorities.
It consists of Patrol duty at the Docks, where we patrol
eight beats every night. We also have a Motor Boat patrolling the
Docks and keeping up communication between our men on the two
sides of the river. We have a Guard Room on each side, where
an Officer, N.C.O., and Orderly are on duty all night, and
the patrols are divided into watches of three hours. The
men are armed with sticks and whistles, and are in touch with
Military Sentries or armed police. Yours sincerly, (Signed) John Bristow.
Commandant. R. A. Anderson, Esq., 18 South Frederick Street, DUBLIN.
