    Poster at left seems to be for a Tit Bits issue (no laughing at the back!) How King George Saved (my) Life

    King George means 1910 onwards.

    A few minutes before ('Enterprise' is stopped in a queue}. Sadly I cannot read the clock in either - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000322755

    IJ 401 is registered to Thomas Heston & co. In the 1914 motorist thingy.

    In 1914, the IJs go to 1000, so 400 is at least 1907.

    “Hillsborough Fort Guard was one of only two private armies in the United Kingdom, the other being the Duke of Atholl's Atholl Highlanders.

    The War Office attempted to disband the Guard in 1874; law officers, however, advised against it, and the War Office continued to pay £5 per warder per annum (equivalent to £578 in 2020), and a free uniform every two years to twenty of Lord Downshire's estate workers.”

    There were big celebrations for the 21st birthday of the Marquis in July 1892, which lasted several days, a banquet in the biggest marquee ever seen in Ireland, special trains to bring interested members of the public, illuminated addresses of congratulation from the tenants of his vast land , and also a spectacular firework display . All reported at great length in the press.

    But the only references to his private army was in the Northern Whig: "the armed warders in the uniform of the Dutch Guards could not but remind all present Saturday that the young Marquis holds office as Hereditary Constable of Hillsborough Fort. "
