There is a little dog

Does the dog have a mo too?

Hard to say if they're military or not. The military jackets look genuine but their wearers seem fairly scruffy. When did Army Bargains first open?

The photo before this is the 3rd Division Ambulance, which makes more sense than 3rd Ambulance Division.

Taken by Pall Mall Gazette journalist Henry Norman the day after Widow MacNamara's eviction. The first sheriff, called McMahon, had turned up with a large force several days earlier but had epileptic fit and the police withdrew. The tenants saw this as divine intervention and made this effigy of him. Incidentally the title was attributed by Norman to a photo he took of Michael Davitt and two priests, full term: "the firebrands, lay and clerical".

Taken on or around June 2nd, 1887.

The Bodyke evictions have been well and truly covered in other posts and on other shots. You can just see Canon Hannon in this one, he was very much the ringleader though he insisted on no violence and intervened when he felt the tenants were getting too hot under the collar. Great shot and a very interesting story!

Swordscookie Sorry, Sean. Don't mean to be a slave driver - just having a good old tidy up, and was astonished that there'd never been a comment on this one. :)

creepy looking thing that is.

This was part of the Third Liberty Loan Drive, which began April 6, 1918 and ended May 4th. The caption on the right side of the negative seems to say "Col. Prescott sells bonds." "The Stage Women's War Relief Association maintained a Liberty Theatre in front of the Public Library on 5th Avenue and 42nd Street in New York City where for six hours daily prominent speakers and actors interested the public. For the last two weeks of the Loan this Society sent out a traveling theatre to visit the crowded districts of the city each day. Actors and actresses of importance spoke and gave performances from this theatre as an appeal to buy Liberty Bonds. In various cities this Society was of great aid to the Woman's Liberty Loan Committee." books.google.com/books?id=3Y43AQAAIAAJ&pg=PA66&lp...

A photo of Geraldine Farrar singing here has the following caption" "At this corner, Fifth Avenue and Forty second Street, New York, where surging thousands daily pass and repass, war interests found a constant centre. The plaza of the Library became a national market-place. For the Third Liberty Loan campaign a miniature Liberty Theatre was erected at the top of the steps. There famous singers and eloquent speakers assisted in drawing crowds and selling bonds. Mme Farrar is here singing "The Star Spangled Banner."] books.google.com/books?id=zT0QAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA1220&...
