Mutinies or ‘affrays’ by regular and militia soldiers were a constant feature of British military life and civil-military relations during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; neither were they absent from the early twentieth century.

The event is set within both a heretofore lacking Irish social and political context and the broader context of British Army mutinies as a whole.
