Sir Frederick Charles Shaw KCB ( 1861-1942) was a British Army general who served in the Boer War and the First World War. He became Commander-in-Chief, Ireland and retired in 1920.
During the First World War he fought in Gallipoli and France where he was wounded.
On 19 September 1919, during the Irish War of Independence, he suggested that the police force in Ireland be expanded via the recruitment of a special force of volunteer British ex-servicemen.
