  On the blackboard: one of the verses of "The First Nowell"
  
  "And by the light of that same bright star
  There were three wise men come from the east country far
  To seek for a king was their intent
  And to follow the star wherever it went."

  I'm sure most of them were glad to be going back to Dear Old Blighty - certainly this guy from the looks of that smile!

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Stuart Absolutely, Stu!

• Peter Denton said:

  I'm all in favour of "don't frighten the horses", but this seems a bit extreme!

• Jim Griffin said:

  Was it normal, I wonder, to blindfold horses on boats?

• outgoing way said:

  I never tire of the photos posted by the NLI, thanks!

  Interesting photo.
  I've always been interested in Ireland's military history, in particular in the interwar period and during The Emergency.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Patrick Castelli Will bear that in mind, Patrick, and see what we can dig up for you...

• Luís Felipe López Garay said:

  Interesting!

• lukusnan said:

  This is a picture of my Grandfather Lewis James Thomas with my gran, auntie Olive and uncle Richard, my mother is not in the photo as she was camera shy.
  my grandfather died in Japanese prisoner war camp just before the end of the war.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  lukusnan How did you ever come across this photo? What amazing information, thank you!
  
  We had E. J. Thomas as that's how the photo appeared in the Irish Independent so it's great to have Lewis James. It's sad that your grandfather died so soon after this. Do you know how long he was stationed on Spike Island?
