Funeral procession of Major E. Smyth and Captain A.P. White on the Quays in Dublin

    That's the view from the O'Connell Bridge looking westwards along the quay - you can see the building to the left of Cox's is now painted blue and called the Abbey Court - maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=o'connell+bridge,+dublin&hl=... A slightly different view shows Keogh's on the corner which is now the Bachelor Inn - maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=o'connell+bridge,+dublin&hl=...

    billh35 Thanks! Had a moment of self-doubt because I had thought that the Ha'penny Bridge would have been visible from there...

    The two British officers were killed in the gun battle at 'Fernside', Drumcondra, from which Seán Treacy and Dan Breen - Vice-O/C and Quartermaster of the 3rd Tipperary Brigade IRA, respectively - narrowly escaped. Treacy is believed to have attended the funeral procession shown here - who knows, maybe he's in the photo - just hours before he himself was killed on Talbot Street. Niamh Hassett and Daniel Jack, Searching for Seán: remembering Seán Treacy 100 years on (2020), 135-6: "Leo Henderson reported seeing Treacy around 1pm coming from the direction of Amiens Street and the area where the funeral cortege was passing along the quays. Reputedly, Treacy attended to pray for the souls of the men who were killed at Fernside. At a later meeting in the Republican Outfitters [on Talbot Street], Treacy confirmed that he was indeed at the funeral procession." National Library of Ireland on The Commons

    Now I'm no Gun expert but the handgun and holster has caught my eye. Firstly unusual length for holster to hang from belt what was the reason for this? Secondly the pistol handgrip has the shape of the Mauser C-96 and if so I this indicates German purchase?

    Nice capture.

    sure looks like a broomhandle Mauser. There was one on here a while ago, long time ago, we also found it based on the handle. They made millions of these, pretty common during WW1. Could go full auto, a bad boy. I imagine there were a few floating around post-war. www.spike.com/video-clips/n2wj7z/deadliest_warrior-weapon... Thompson has the circular magazine, 50 rounds I think. Chicago Piano we called them over here.

    Not the SS Lady Wicklow and not taken at Passage West. This is the London & North Western Railway Company's Dublin/Holyhead ferry S.S. Arvonia at Albert Quay, Cork. She was requisitioned as a troopship in Aug 1922 by the irish Free State and later used as an internment ship..... taken sometime after General Dalton landed 456 men at Passage West on August 8th. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000280472
