A fine collection of 'pin-ups' in the Post Office of Box(?) Hall Camp, Essex. The bottom photo has something about Essex too ...

beachcomber australia They're quite demure, and mostly well-clad pin-ups.

"party of soldiers" You could more correctly refer to them as a "platoon". 20 to 50 soldiers, typically. Your photo has 24, plus the Sergeant.

Compare the uniforms in this photo to the ones in your photo, above-

Uniforms in the photo above and the Irish Times have five buttons.

"Hare Hall Camp" on subsequent photos.

beachcomber australia Ah, Hare Hall Camp, brilliant. Thank you. And as you always say, someone on here will know where that is...

The catalogue says rural village but the buildings say Town to me.

Niall McAuley Agreed!

Niall McAuley It's the Krazy Kataloguers in Library Towers once again!

Any clues from the shop names? Looks like "Household ......." on the shop name at the street corner. Cannot quite read the name on the shop front behind the cart.

Hassett at #9, I think, and Household Bazaar, maybe

At least they were marked, unlike the children’s graveyard in an industrial school or cess pit of a mothers and child home

About 150m South West from Kenmare Stone Circle there is "Killeen Burial Ground (disused)" marked on the 25" map. I wonder if this is the place ?

"... Dotted across the countryside around us, and throughout Ireland, are the loneliest places on earth. These are the cillíní – the children’s graveyards. A cill (kill) is a monk’s cell or church site, cillín (killeen) is the diminutive and cillíní (killeenee) is the plural: small churches. Ironically, the cillíní despite their names were usually non-church sites. They were burial grounds reserved for unbaptised children (those who died before they could be baptised or were perhaps born out of wedlock), pregnant women (because they were carrying unbaptised children), unrepentant murderers, suicides, shipwreck victims and strangers – anyone, in short, who was not ‘saved’ or whose baptismal status was ambiguous or unknown. They were used into the twentieth century. ... ..."

The days when limbo wasn't just a dance.

beachcomber australia I hope that is the place. It's good to think of the little graveyard being so close to a stone circle.

beachcomber australia This likely the correct place, on the bank of the River Finnihy (note spelling) as Killeen is derived from Cellini as you said.
“It appears that it has taken many years for Ireland to be no longer ashamed of Cillín, possibly facilitated and assisted by the passing of time since 1994 when the Catholic Church lifted the prohibition on unbaptised being buried in consecrated ground

The Schools Collection of the National Folklore Collection has many references to ‘Cillín’ and ‘Killeen’ which hopefully I will study in the coming weeks. The Irish Examiner noted in 2014 of some Cillíní being brought back and recognised by the community. It is reported that there are 1,444 Cillíní on the island of Ireland – my expectation would have been a significantly greater number”
