The posters mention "Letter from Mr J Redmond" and "Home Rule Finance" London Times Saturday 27th May 1911 "The following letter from Mr John Redmond appeared in the Dublin newspapers yesterday ..."

KenjiB_48 Most likely war souvenirs, can also spot a German softcover standing to the left of the Soldier in the center wearing the "spiked" German helmet. Those machine guns in the foreground are MG 08's.
