FCA Titles, 1950's (F to Z)

These titles were worn by members of the FCA (local defence force) during the 1950's.  Upon  integration into the permanent forces in 1959 the town names ceased and they evolved into the new designations (i.e. TULLAMORE BATTALION FCA became C Coy, 16 Infantry Battalion and INNISCRONE BATTALION FCA became B Company, 18 Infantry Battalion.  An aspect of  integration was that a number of the Infantry units were re-designated to other Corps.
