Regimental Intelligence Officers

Each Regiment had an Intelligence Oficer. This was a dangerous job, and a number were shot by the IRA, and others had to leave Ireland lest they suffered the same fate.

Regimental IOs were targeted by the IRA and after the truce a number were specifically withdrawn from Ireland because of the dangers to them
