    25 July 1922 was a Tuesday . . .

    The papers on the 25th July 1922 report a stand at Bruff by "Irregulars". The siege of the barracks and fighting seem to have occurred on he previous Thursday and Friday (20th & 21st July). Freeman's Journal reported that the first hint the National garrison had of an impending siege was when an Irregular Red Cross hospital was set up a few miles outside the town.

    A very subdued picture-wonder what was going through the soldier's minds in that moment in time-and the kids watching, just the whole scene-just a great pic!

    Reminds me of an hotel in Naas on the left hand side as you enter from the Dublin Road. The building looks similar but the main similarity is the creeper and that would not be too reliable.

    Lawlor's Hotel? Have checked them on the web, but even without the creeper, the windows are completely different: www.lawlorshotelnaas.com/

    The crude sign on the sideboard of the truck nearest seems to say Limerick but I am not familiar with the church. It is not unlike the Dominicans in Dominics Street but there is no steeple on that. It may be out in the county?

    The other version of the same photograph in the catalogue has some more detail (more children) to the right, cropped in this print. - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000194370 National Library of Ireland on The Commons PS. Date typo! Unless you mean the 124th Ground hog day :)
