There is a book of which I have a copy "The Protected Years" 1920-1970 which is a history of Clogher District Ulster Special Constabulary. I have Volume 2. It was written and published by a local man so I don't know how available it is but it makes very interesting reading and has lots of photos and names in it Jo Message: 7 Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 05:25:37 +0000 From: Ulster Ancestry <ulsterancestry@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [CoTyIre] B Specials To: "cotyroneireland-l@rootsweb.com" <cotyroneireland-l@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <DUB114-W480459234F25FF74413EB7C3A00@phx.gbl> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" These are Police service records and exist, but they are closed to the public until 2022 under the 100 year rule. If you have a specific full name, and other detail such as age at enlistment, home address , whether the person was in the A, B or C Specials etc, then you could make a freedom of information application directly to PRONI, however if there are several men of the same name, then they might not be able to identify your particular one. In that case they would not release information , but there is no harm in asking. Either write to them Access DepartmentPublic Record Office of Northern Ireland 2 Titanic Boulevard Titanic Quarter Belfast BT3 9HQ or use the on line form http://www.proni.gov.uk/index/about_proni/freedom_of_information/proni_enquiry_form.htm Best regards Robert www.ulsterancestry.com > Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2015 20:08:15 -0400 > To: cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com > Subject: [CoTyIre] B Specials > From: cotyroneireland@rootsweb.com > > Hi Folks, > Does anyone know if enlistment and service records are available for > those > in the B Specials in County Tyrone from the date of their formation. > > Robert Alexander
