rarely do you see the phrase "killed in action on *** street", so specific and so personal. Love the Irish!

I've placed this photo VERY loosely on Pearse Street, but any history buffs who know of the exact location of the recruiting office, please let me know and I'll amend the map accordingly.

This looks like the building: maps.google.com/maps?q=Pearse+Street,+Dublin,+Ireland&... Just a few doors from the Pearse Museum at 27. Apparently the Army recruiting office was at 23, 24 & 25 - pic on: www.ihpc.ie/ihpc/Main/Enquiry.asp?iPictureID=12184&iT...
