Personal Notes:

Belle M 1911 census - merchantile clerk - married 12 yrs, total of one child born to this date Ireland Casualties of War - Ancestry.com - HOSFORD Joseph. Rank, Private, Irish Volunteer Training Corps; killed Sien Fein Rebellion, Dublin 24-25 April, 1916 Private Joseph Hosford Irish Voluntees Training Corps, was killed in the Sinn Fein rebellion and listed as having being killed 24th-25th April 1916. This is from Irelands Memorial records. (Remember War dead databases?)I was born not 3 miles from Glasevin. Glasnevin means Nevins River. Nevin was an ancient pre-Christian Chief and lived in the area. http://irishmedals.org/gpage32.html The Irish Volunteer Training Corps, or the G.R.’s as they were better known where the first to suffer fatalities in the Rising. On Monday the 24th of April the 1st Dublin Battalion paraded at Beggar’s Bush Barracks. There were four companies composed of the Irish Rugby Union Football Corps, the St. Andrew’s Corps, the Dublin Veterans Corps, the Glasnevin Corps as well as City and Railway corps and some motor cyclists. Although comprising of many Corps the force amounted to about 120 men. The force left Beggar’s Bush Barracks and marched to Ticknock. The force took part in an exercise with the Kingstown Corps and the Graystones Corps. On completion of the exercise they set out to march back to Beggar’s Bush, newspapers and other sources suggest they were surprised by the Rebels when they arrived back at Beggar’s Bush but several sources state that they were informed of the trouble in Dublin and knew several buildings were occupied by the Rebels and advised to approach Dublin with caution. The commander of the force Major Harris marched the GRs from Ticknock to Beggar’s Bush without stopping, the march took one hour and twenty minutes arriving at the approach to Beggar’s Bush Barracks at about 4pm. They found the Barracks under siege and as they approached they came under heavy fire. The main source of the fire came from the Rebels occupying the railway bridge which had a commanding view of Haddington Road. Although armed with rifles the GRs had no ammunition or bayonets and their GR Brassards made them obvious targets. Their commander with an advance party managed to enter the Barracks by the front entrance although they came under heavy fire in which Corporal Clery of A Company was mortally wounded. The remainder of the company was ordered to retreat up Lansdowne Lane and made their way to the back of the Barracks via Northumberlnd Road marching in single file until they reached a place in the wall where it seemed possible to climb over the wall. Eighty one men and nine officers managed to scale the wall and join the besieged garrison. There were only seventeen lee Enfield rifles in the barracks and the GRs only had six which would take .303 ammunition. The GRs were instructed on how to use their old Italian rifles as clubs should the Sinn Feiners attempt to rush the Barracks. Continues firing was kept up on the Barracks especially from number 25 at the corner of Northumberland Road and Haddington Road. And it was from this house that the remainder of the GRs left outside the Barracks suffered their most losses. About forty GRs, under the command of F H Browning , were attempting to gain access to the Barracks when they came under a deadly hail of fire from the house on the corner, four were killed and nine injured. Sheltering in neighbouring houses they managed to acquire a change of clothes, their uniform being deemed too dangerous to wear, they managed to get safely from the area. Later in the week Mr Joseph Hosford of C Company (Glasnevin) was shot dead by a sniper when he went to the barrack room to get his coat, he stood in front of a window for a moment when a bullet came through the glass and hit him. The garrison at Beggar’s Bush was strengthened on the Wednesday afternoon by a party from the Nott’s and Derby Territorials who had landed at Kingstown that morning and marched to Ballsbridge. Knowing nothing of the area the Territorials were directed to the Barracks by sentries on the Shelbourne Road, approaching the Barracks from the rear they had to climb, heavily laden, over the wall by means of a ladder, most of them had only three months training at Watford and some had never fired a service rifle.
