Teething problems with Free State Army census

The country’s only military census, of the Free State Army in 1922 went online yesterday — but many people could not view the data because of a technical problem.

The census, launched on militaryarchives.ie yesterday, shows two maps of the country[/url] through which details of individual divisions and commands could be accessed.

However, many people were advised of the site “having a temporary problem generating a view of the document”. Viewers were asked to try again later.
