    The Sunday Oregonian, August 19, 1917, SECTION FIVE, Image 69 printed a cropped version of this photo with the caption: "M. Kurupensky is the new Ambassador to Japan from Russia." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1917-08-19/ed-1/se...

    Thanks for this information B-59. We'll add some of the information to the record the next time we update.

    The Russian ambassador to Japan in 1917 was Vasily Nikolaevich Krupensky (1868-1945) He was ambassador from 1916-1921. Krupensky is the modern transliteration and is more accurate to the original Russian Крупенский than Kurupensky, used by Bain. ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D1%80%D1%83%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%B...

    The website of THE EMBASSY OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION TO JAPAN gives his name as Krupensky Vasily Nikolaevich as well, but according to that he was ambassador in 1916 and 1917 only, s. www.russia-emb.jp/english/embassy/history/index.html

    I wonder is that really a British military uniform... It could be the uniform of a particular office such as a Lord Lieutenant etc. Also, the medals are unusual in that each appears to have a circular rosette on the ribbon - Could they represent orders? The badge at his neck could be that of the French Légion d'honneur, but the star on his chest is different. Perhaps he is a diplomat?

    A detailed pdf document at some library or other. Arthur Patrick O’Brien was born in London on 25 September 1872 ... In early 1919, partly on Collins’ suggestion, Ó Briain was appointed the envoy of Dáil Eireann in Britain ... In March 1923, however, Ó Briain and many others were arrested and deported to Ireland. ...From 1924 to 1932, Ó Briain was effectively absent from public life ... To the surprise of many, he was appointed Irish Minister to France and Belgium in June 1935; a position he held until September 1938 when he retired.

    I'm guessing this is 1935-38, and the other guy is French or Belgian.
