    "Arthur Alfred Lynch (1861-1934), rebel and polymath, was born on 16 October 1861 at Smythesdale, Victoria, fourth of fourteen children of Irish Catholic John Lynch (1828-1906), surveyor and civil engineer, and his wife Isabella, née MacGregor, from Scotland. ... ... ... A hefty man, strikingly handsome, of charm, courtesy and even temper, Lynch was one of the most picturesque figures of his time. He was erratic in his grasp of public affairs but was generally respected for his integrity and extraordinary range of knowledge, and was on friendly terms with many great contemporaries. He had no doubt that his was one of the outstanding minds of the age. Survived by his wife, childless, he died at Paddington, London, on 25 March 1934." From - adb.anu.edu.au/biography/lynch-arthur-alfred-7270 Also from the above biography - "During World War I he fought for freedom as ever, he believed. After informal work in France, aiding communication between British and French leaders, late in the war he was appointed colonel in order to encourage recruiting in Ireland; he had little success. ..."

    Are we talking about the same guy? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Lynch_(politician)#Popular_culture
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Suck Diesel Yes. He was a polymath (I had to look it up). Here is more detail about recruiting in Ireland in 1918, presumably contemporary with this photo - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Munster_Fusiliers_(New_Army)#10th_(Service)_Battalion

    beachcomber australia In the Wiki version, he sounds more like Mad Max on steroids
  • Niall McAuley said:
    From wikipedia: He had previously raised the Second Irish Brigade to fight for the Boers in the South African War, for which he had been sentenced to death by the British, which was later commuted.

Tell me - was he the Justin McCarthy who played for Cork?

    Damn you, Niall McAuley! You beat me to the draw.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Or William Shaw? In 1880 we find: Cork (Two members) John Daly Charles Stewart Parnell County Cork (Two members) William Shaw David la Touche Colthurst
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Carol Maddock William Elder or Younger?
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Lane was born in 1849, 12 years older then William Redmond. Shaw was born in 1823, and would have been 70ish, so it must be Lane.
