ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Sincere thanks to Jason Antic and Dana Kelley of DeOldify, without whom this project would not have occurred in the first place. Thank you also to Saileóg O’Halloran and Taff Gillingham for their assistance regarding Irish and British uniform colours, to Mike Darcy, Matt Loughrey, Johnny Sirlande and ColorizeImages.com for their continued support, and to Alexandr Borisovich and Laurent Perrie for their advice. Thanks also to NUI Galway and to Science Foundation Ireland, who, through the Insight, Confirm and VistaMilk SFI Research Centres (grant numbers 12/RC/2289_P2, 16/RC/3918 and 16/RC/3835), have supported John’s ongoing research into the area of artificial intelligence applications.

On the captions, thank you to Úna Kavanagh for her assistance on the Dillon/Clonbrock photographs, Gerry White for his uniform advice, John Cunningham on all things Galway and Deirdre Ní Chonghaile on all things Aran. John Borgonovo and the Atlas of the Irish Revolution were of great assistance on the revolutionary period, as was Liz Gillis on Elizabeth O’Farrell and the infamous surrender photograph. Thank you also to Owen Ward.

Both John and Sarah-Anne would also like to thank their families for all their support throughout.
