Kilruddery,
Bray,
Ireland Sept 19. 1916 My dear Clonbrock, Many thanks for so kindly
responding to my appeal and
for sending me a cheque
for £10: towards the Irish
Police and Constabulary
Recognition Fund. Yours respectfully Meath
The letter is from Reginald Brabazon, 12th Earl of Meath (1841-1929), to Luke Gerald
Dillon, 4th Baron Clonbrock. Meath thanks Clonbrock for his donation of £10 to the
Irish Police & Constabulary Recognition Fund.
The Irish Police & Constabulary Recognition Fund was founded by Meath to recognise
the work of the police during the Easter Rising. It presented certificates, war bonds
and awards to policemen who were in active service in the Royal Irish Constabulary
or Dublin Metropolitan Police during the Rising and compensation to the widows and
dependants of those killed or injured.
