To cheat slightly, there's a list available in the Jeremiah O’Donovan Rossa Funeral Souvenir Programme.

Sharon Corbet Cheating's such an ugly word, Sharon! It's a research resource... :) Who did the fantastic numbered jigsaw for our RIA photograph a while back? *shakes fist and glares at Flickr for taking away our vital Notes feature*

Here is a cool interactive map of Glasnevin using Streetview to tour famous graves.

A direct streetview link to the grave of O'Donovan Rossa.

A further "research resource", namely the photo with names below.

The Glasnevin Trust has a numbered version available, with some of the names already filled in.

Sharon Corbet That cuts out most of the fun of the shot Sharon but it is interesting how many major players were present!

There are more names available in this Examiner article.

Swordscookie The numbering is helpful, though :-)

Keogh had to have taken the photograph from the roof of the Boland Chapel. Streetview The grave to bottom right is that of William Dargan another nation "builder". James O Dea's photographs are mostly of his work. "St. James’s Brass and Reed Band, Mount Brown, Dublin 8, is by far Ireland’s oldest band. It was established in 1800 but early records trace back as far as 1737."

Being able to see evocative photographs such as this, taken in emotional times when history really was in the making, makes me appreciate more than ever the immense and irreplaceable value of photography, and of the National Library's archive. This is an outstanding image, not least because it's immediate and unposed... and the subjects, of course, are of profound importance to Ireland's history. Utterly beyond value - and a joy to view, nearly 90 years later.

Well Taken. Grief for families world wide is to lose a Soldier at war.

Thank you my friend,..Respect..!

Wonderful historic vintage photo in B&W!!! Not knowing Irish heroes as well as y'all, can you tag the soldiers so one can know which is Michael Collins and Risteard Mulcahy in this photo. Thank you so very much!!!

Angela Orlando Sorry, maorlando, should have done that earlier. Notes now added on each man...
