    [Aside] I never knew this: "The column also had a symbolic importance to Adolf Hitler. If Hitler's plan to invade Britain, Operation Sea Lion, had been successful, he planned to move it to Berlin." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson%27s_Column

    From Trove: A large Irish demonstration in Trafalgar-square demanded the release of 180 Irish prisoners who ara still in gaol, on the ground that their retention was at variance with the spirit of the Irish agreement. Article from The Advocate, Melbourne, 16 Feb 1922, in a longer article about Irish News. Doesn't give the date of the protest.

    There was a slave ship named Brothers, but it was burned by the French in 1794.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Wikipedia lists seven ships called Brothers, none look an exact match.

    William Dobbin was master of the Hawk until 1803, and John Downie was master of the Dispatch. Belfast News-Letter - Tuesday 20 September 1803:
    Belfast News-Letter - Tuesday 20 September 1803

    But by April the following year WIlliam Dobbin was master of the Dispatch. Belfast News-Letter - Friday 20 April 1804.:
    Belfast News-Letter - Friday 20 April 1804.

    Other notices show Downie as master of the Hawk in the following tears.

    Some time in January 1808 Dobbin went back to the Hawk, and someone called Rankin was in charge of the Dispatch. This arrangement seems to have continued until January July 1810, when McCormick took over on the Hawk.

    Juno and the Paycock started its run at the Royalty theatre on 16th November 1925 and ended on 5th March 1926 (press reports) . I wonder which performances he attended, and if it was reported, and why its on a poster for the Fortune.
  • John Spooner said:
    "moving to the Fortune Monday next" -Daily Mirror Tues 2nd March, so the run at the Fortune started on 8th March 1926.

    That bobby's number is E238. Should be identifiable. Does anyone know if there are lists of numbers/names like Jim Herlihy produced for the RIC, etc. in Ireland?
