Count Harrach -- Lt. Von Lobel -- Excellenz Dr. Von Sandt, Civil Governor Belgium (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Art Siegel said:
    Max von Sandt (1861-1918) was the head of the civil administration after Germany began its occupation there in 1914 and remained until sent to Warsaw for identical duties in July, 1917, shortly before his death. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_von_Sandt fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_von_Sandt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Governorate_of_Belgium
  • Art Siegel said:
    Count Harrach (I haven't found a source for his full name and there were several Count Harrachs) appears in news accounts and memoirs as either the head of or aide to the head of the occupation government's political section.
    He was quoted as being part of an uncooperative group of German officials who blocked efforts to delay the execution of English nurse Edith Cavell, accused of spying in Brussels in October, 1915. He said he only regretted that he lacked "3 or 4 old english women to shoot."

    In an account by the U.S. Head of Legation to Belgium, Harrach says "The life of one German soldier seems to us much more important than that of all the old English nurses. ..." and then prevents others in the room from showing sympathy when a plea for leniency is made.

    There is a memorial to her in London;
    Edith Cavell
    and her life inspired the naming of a mountain in Canada in her memory:
    Mount Edith Cavell by the sunset

Political execution -- Mexico (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • J Manfre said:
    Looks like it says "Ortiz v. Carlos Troncoso" down at the bottom?
  • Greg said:
    Perhaps "Ortiz y Carlos" ?
  • Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
    Seems to say "Ortiz y Carlos Troncoso fusilados ¨¨(fusil means rifle, therefore fusilado means rifle shooted) en la d....." The typing is very similar to that used by Waite Photo Co. Dr. Roberto Duarte Plastic Surgeon
  • Jesús Roberto Duarte said:
    If this picture is a secuence with www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/ggbain.15851/ Call Nr. 3034-11 Then the execution is taking place by the walls that surround Belem Prison

Michael O'Hanrahan, head and shoulders portrait

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

  • Niall McAuley said:
    I think this is Michael in 1901.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    He appears to be wearing shamrock - St. Patrick's Day portrait?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Latest date is 4th May 1916, date of his execution.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    This looks like it was a group shot that was cut down to make a "portrait", that was then later used for a postcard. (Hence the shading out of the guy in front.)
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Here is an archive image of a painted portrait of O'Hanrahan in uniform. I suspect it was painted from this photo. Note on plate reads Miss O'Hanrahan, so it was commissioned by one of his sisters Anna, Mary or Eillen
