    Bizarre story ... ... In Watty Cox’s Irish magazine for February 1816 there was a vivid account of the punishment of a woman at Geneva Barracks in 1798. Mrs O’Neill travelled from Co Antrim to see her son who was imprisoned at the barracks. By bribing sentries she was permitted an interview but as soon as mother and son saluted each other, she was ordered into the presence of Colonel Scott and his wife. The couple subjected her to a rigorous examination and then handed her over to highlanders for a “blanketing”. Blanketing was a common punishment where the soldiers would grab a blanket, strip the victim naked and hoist them in the air repeatedly. Mrs O’Neill suffered this indignity for more than 20 minutes. She implored soldiers to leave some clothes on but when Colonel Scott saw this departure from custom his wife encouraged him to cut off her clothes with his sword. Locals saw her naked body repeatedly rising and falling above the walls of the barracks. Afterwards the woman was taken to Passage East where she died the next day. The fate of her son was not recorded. ... From - woollydays.wordpress.com/2016/06/27/the-story-of-new-gene...

    Geneva Barracks at wikipedia. The barracks gradually fell into disuse in the years following the end of the Napoleonic Wars and were finally closed in 1824.

    I can't find a date for when the YCV officially became the 14th Battallion, but it was in 1914, the year of this photo.
