What about the tartan 'trews?

The tartan trousers makes them lowlanders. Highlanders all had kilts. Hat man appears to be antipodean - I don't think anyone else got a slouch hat. He also appears to be wearing cavalry trousers. Puttees were gone by 1940.

Are you sure it's not just some gang of lads living rough and dressed in army surplus?
Niall McAuley said:
derangedlemur If you look at the linked set, you'll see a load of tents and horses, all military style.

derangedlemur Very sure! Have a look at the other photos in the series, especially this one which looks like a cavalry detachment.

Not a happy bunch! Understandably!

There's program from the "Ballykinlar Players" from April 1921 as well as a poster from October (1921?) in South Dublin Libraries.

Apparently they went on in 1922 to play in the Queen's Theatre.

Odd that it's called "Ballykinlar" with an 'a'. It's Ballykinler on the map, as far back as the 6", and also on the roadsigns: www.google.ie/maps/@54.257872,-5.7995965,3a,43.3y,222.49h... Looks like they wouldn't let the gogglemobile in to look at the camp.
