1916

I made a similar comment here www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/14709949112/ This image appears to be taken September 2, 1916, following Woodrow Wilson's notification that he was nominated as the Democratic candidate for President for the 1916 election. The photo was taken at the Shadow Lawn estate in New Jersey, which served as Wilson's summer White House. The house burned down in 1927. A photo from the event is seen here: The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]), 03 Sept. 1916. Chronicling America: Historic American Newspapers. Lib. of Congress. (chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026749/1916-09-03/ed-...)

Thanks Dean Z. We'll add this information at the catalog record.

Wikipedia says 66 rebels were killed. This IT article from 2015 says "new research" says 58.

This page lists 63 deaths and locations. I count 8 deaths in the GPO, and 4 in nearby streets.

The same page has photos of some of the dead, and this isn't any of them unless it is a very young The O'Rahilly? No, definitely not

It could be 7, 11, 14, 29, 32, 33, 39, 50 on that page.

How old would you say he is in the picture - late teens or early twenties?

Dubris Looks very much teens to me, but it could be an old picture of whoever as a teen.

We've seen a lot of airbrushed photos where the subject turns out to be 10 years older than they look. He could be anything from 18 to over 30. He doesn't seem to match any of the descriptions of children killed in Dublin during the rising, hence the 18 limit. He has quite a high forehead, so if you imagine a few wrinkles, late 20s or early 30s may not be so fanciful.

Here's a possible name. Wicklow News-Letter and County Advertiser - Saturday 28 October 1916:

Bomb, and Acting-Sergt. A. Baker, clerk. R.F.A., Ballincollig, was found not guilty at court-martial at Cork on charges of having applied £5, the property of his commanding officer to liis own use, suppressed correspondence, applied to his own account moneys paid him for the purchase a wreath, and being unfit for duty owing to indulgence in drink.

Which one has the guilty innocent look?

There are still Barracks buildings at Ballincollig, a former cavalry barracks Streetview, but I don't see this building.

And in the same newspaper on March 18th:
Saturday 18 March 1916:

A protest against the action the Crown in remanding again and again Corporal J. W. Brodie. R.F.A., Ballincollig, on charge of bigamously marrying Hanna McCarthy was made by Mr. O’Driscoll, solicitor, at a Court in Bandon. Accused was again remanded.

I spent four years in Ballincollig (1 FAR) I don't remember the building in the background, or anything resembling it.

Not Ballincollig in 1916, but the 30th Reserve, RFA the previous year. Hull Daily Mail - Wednesday 18 August 1915:

ARTILLERYMAN'S DYING CHILD. Thomas Henry Keeley, 31, of Sultan street, Camberwell, driver in the 30th Reserve Battery of the Royal Field Artillery, was charged with being an absentee from Ins corps since Sunday last. When arrested by P.C. Hansford, the prisoner said the reason he did not back was that had a child lying very ill in Belgrave Hospital. Mr Biron committed the prisoner to await military escort. The prisoner, mentioning that the child might die at any moment, asked that he might allowed to visit the hospital before he was handed over to the military authorities. " We will try and manage that for you" replied Biron. His worship gave instructions the police accordingly.
