This is what is left of the original Block. Everything west of the arch was burnt down by the occupying Anti Treaty Forces when their commander learnt the Free State forces had landed at Fenit. However the burning had to cease when he discovered some of his men were still asleep upstairs in one of the blocks.Originally posted by ODIN View PostBallymullen back in its glory days
Just visible here is what used to be the gable end of the west facing block in Odins Photo. Both this building, and the other blocks, were still standing, if overgrown and in ruins, when photos were taken of a Reserve Cavalry unit preparing to depart on exercise in 1958. These photos can be seen in Karl Martin's book about irish Army vehicles.

This particular Sgt wasn't getting overheated because of a vehicle pedal, perchance... ?Originally posted by luchi View Post

Would this be when a RDF PA officer and assorted types stood idelly while a driver was abused for refusing to drive a faulty vehicle and then said Sgt came back and tried to apologise.I'm not a number, I'm a free man.

Really. Cos this year in tralee it was discovered that apparently PA's have a problem with two females leaving barracks in a vehicle with no man about to protect them.
I love ballymullen bks. It has a great history it has shit facillities and accomodation but you find ways to improve your lot if your resourcefull enough. The biggest problem is that to go on the ground you have a bit to travel unlike killworth where you just cross the road. Other than that its fine. Except for the grub. That always was, still is, and prob always will be Shite.Trouble, Trouble, I tried to chase trouble but its chasing me.

the pictures are fairly unique in that they are lacking in one thing-
usually when you look out any window there at any time
you can always always see some bird doing the walk of shame

The above photo posted by Goldie fish revived old memories for me, albeit they are now hazy memories.
The attached family photo of myself is now about 72 years old. It is marked on back "Ballymullen Barracks 1937. It would appear in that era the wooden billets were painted with possibly wood preservative such as creosote. My father former Munster Fusiliers, L/Corp. Timothy Sullivan 9600, in civilian life was manager of various Military Canteens during period 1928-1937.
I have an old reference written for my father from a Capt. Thomas Martyn, Officer Commanding Ballymullen Barracks, dated 6th December 1928.
