    Yes indeed....the very thought when I first saw this pic...what an amazing array of diffferent caps and hats and an interesting photograph too. Thank you. Stuart.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Stuart You're very welcome!
  • Tammy said:
    looks like the photographer posed them perfectly, then left that empty chair in the foreground which is distracting....himmm
  • Sheila Ryan said:
    It's actually the empty chair that really makes this for me.

    An earlier Lord Clonbrock (I don't know his number, but born 1807)., played 5 first class cricket matches, at least twice for England. His first-class batting average was 1.62. A gentleman rather than a player. www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/11645.html

    A moustache was clearly the facial fashion statement of the day!

    From this article For their impact on the character of trade unionism, the most important state interventions were those on the railway and in agriculture. Under severe rank and file pressure, the London-based National Union of Railwaymen (NUR) sanctioned a national strike in Ireland in December 1916. As private interests would not meet the pay demand, the government stepped in to keep the war effort running smoothly, took control of Ireland's thirty two railway companies, and awarded a substantial war bonus. Over the next nine months the NUR's Irish affiliation rocketed from 5,000 to 17,000 members. It was a victory for the rank and file over the union’s London executive, as well as for the union over the railway companies. In 1917 NUR men launched the monthly journal New Way and developed the most articulate rank and file movement in Ireland during these years. The same article mentions James 'Big Jim' Larkin (and his hat and droopy moustache), but according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Larkin he was in the USA between 1914 and 1923.
