Letter from Sir Edward O'Farrell (1857-1926), on behalf of the Lord Lieutenant Wimborne (1873-1939), to the Director of Prisoners of War Information Bureau. O'Farrell writes that he is forwarding a copy of a police report which has been compiled on the matter of Alfred Tonnishoff, an internee of Knockaloe Prisoner of War camp. Tonnishoff requests his leaving certificate which was seized when he was arrested on 16 August 1914, 12 days after Great Britain declared war on Germany.Edward O'Farrell served as the assistant undersecretary of Ireland after the Easter Rising. Ivor Churchill Guest, 1st Viscount Wimborne was appointed the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in 1915. Guest worked closely alongside Sir Matthew Nathan (1862-1939) in the administration of Ireland. Following the suppression of the Rising, Guest, under pressure, was forced to resign as Lord Lieutenant. A later inquiry into the Rising exonerated Guest and held Augustine Birrell (1850-1933) chiefly responsible for the events that occurred. Guest would continue to serve as Lord Lieutenant until 1918.
