Description
A Beleaguered Station: The Memoir of Head Constable John McKenna, 1891-1921
This memoir offers a unique perspective on the tumultuous period in Northern Ireland's history leading up to partition. The author, a retired Head Constable, recounts his 31 years of service, including a pivotal event in 1932 that marked the culmination of years of injustice. The memoir provides a contrast between the author's idyllic experiences in Galway and the harsh realities of northern politics.
Through his story, Head Constable McKenna's voice sheds light on the complexities of policing in a divided society, highlighting the importance of cross-community support and the need for consensus in times of turmoil. His personal experiences, including the loss of three young children, serve as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict.
