    The Great God of Google says it was the 1831 Carrickshock incident en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrickshock_incident ... " ... Though not named in contemporary sources, since 1907 the names of the three dead have been given as James Treacy (the bayonetted youth) of Kilcurl, Patrick Power Kilcurl, and Thomas Phelan Kilkeasy. ... " Edit - And this ... "The incident has remained important in the local nationalist historical narrative. On 8 March 1920, during the Irish War of Independence, an Irish Republican Army assault on the RIC barracks at Hugginstown began with a muster at the Carrickshock site, chosen not for tactical but for symbolic value. In July 1925, a celtic cross memorial to the three locals killed was erected at the site of the incident. ... "

    Hugganstown GAA were to merge with in 1928 in commemoration of the Battle of Carrickshock in December 1831. Carrickshock won the All-Ireland Inter Club Hurling Championships in 2017.

    Just noticed the date of this photo was seemingly at the end of the year before the amalgamation in 1928, this piece seems to give some background to events in December 1927.

    The "suspenders" remind me of the adverts for Threadgolds Thoroughgrip Garterettes which were a feature of the newspaper columns of Beachcomber (no relation?) and the radio and TV programs they inspired
    A dustman was emptying dustbins
    In the heart of a horrible slum,
    Where no Viscount's white foot had e'er trodden
    And no Marquess would venture to come.

    How taut were the socks of that dustman
    Would show that he didn't forget
    The people's best friend in all troubles
    Threadgold's Thoroughgrip Garterette.
