    Per wikipedia, MacNeill was promoted to Colonel in 1923.
  • O Mac said:
    In that Wikipedia bio it says he was "Anti-British and a heavy drinker, he was academically very bright but lacked common sense"....

    stern looking fellow.

    MacNeill was also the first president of the Organisation of National Ex-Servicemen and Women. I've added that detail to the Wikipedia article that Niall McAuley references. In the same article I've tagged the text that O Mac has quoted (seems unsettlingly like someone's opinion for an encyclopedic entry....) [PS: Sorry to hear about A&E visit Mary - hope all's well today!]

    Thanks guys! Given that the Wikipedia article suggests a date of birth c.1900, one imagines this is (at least) in the latter-half of our 1914-1923 range. (Certainly the moustache would seem to rule out the first-half of the range - on the basis that his luxurious moustache is beyond a typical 13 or 14 year-old :) ) So as Niall McAuley implies, it could very well be around the time of a promotion in his mid-20s. Any military buffs our there today who might be able to interpret the rank insignia on display?

Sean looks cross today

Following the pipers!

    Bagpipes rather than uilleann pipes. They're not trad musicians, so, but they look like a Dublin crowd anyway.

    Based on a tweet by the Clare Herald, it's the East Clare by-election of 1917. So around the same time as:

    Looks familiar...
    Clare elections, victory procession led by pipers, Countess Markievicz in white coat

    The only comment there was from some dude who said :
    Perhaps the 1917 Clare bye-election, won by De Valera for Sinn Féin?
