    I believe the spelling in the photo's caption is "Capt. Von Krosigk".

    Wonder if he's any relation to this man? The wiki makes mention of the Iron Cross award en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutz_Schwerin_von_Krosigk
  • Janet Lindenmuth said:
    There was also a Capt. von Krosigk who was a Prussian army officer who was murdered in 1901. Two sergeants were accused of killing him. The New York Times referred to it as "a German Dreyfus case" query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9E04E3D9143FE433A... I can't find a photo though so not sure if its the right guy.

    There was a German naval officer named Capt. Krosigk also, who visited New York commanding the Stettin in 1912. KAISER'S WARSHIPS SAIL TO VISIT US; Kiel Cheers the Departing Battleship-Cruiser Moltke and Germany's Pride Goes with It. Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES. May 12, 1912, Sunday query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C07E6DB103AE633A... In 1911 (the previous year) there is mention of an Admiral von Krosigk here: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9903E4D61131E233A...
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thank you. Looks like "Capt. Von Krosigk" to me too. Will submit for correction.

    Lonergan it seems left to join his Family in the U.S.A. in 1914. Therefore, the photo is not 1915 or middle of front row is not Lonergan. Lonergan statement - BMH
  • DannyM8 said:
    Throughout these early pioneering years of the Fianna, Lonergan’s family frequently asked him to join them in the United States; despite his love of Ireland and his passion for the Fianna and the newly founded Irish Volunteers, these constant appeals eventually persuaded him in 1914 to ‘up sticks’ and leave his homeland to be re-united with his family in New York City.

  • Carol Maddock said:
    DannyM8 Think it is deffo Michael Lonergan, so before or during April 1914 then? Also interesting that he writes of the Houlihan brothers, rather than Holohan. I think I've seen Holahan as a spelling also.
  • DannyM8 said:
    Carol Maddock Carol Yes to the date range. I have seen this picture on other sites with the 1915 date.

    Padraig Ryan is probably the Padriag O'Riain mentioned in the Fianna Eireann wiki article as being secretary.
