    Now I'm no Gun expert but the handgun and holster has caught my eye. Firstly unusual length for holster to hang from belt what was the reason for this? Secondly the pistol handgrip has the shape of the Mauser C-96 and if so I this indicates German purchase?

    Nice capture.

    sure looks like a broomhandle Mauser. There was one on here a while ago, long time ago, we also found it based on the handle. They made millions of these, pretty common during WW1. Could go full auto, a bad boy. I imagine there were a few floating around post-war. www.spike.com/video-clips/n2wj7z/deadliest_warrior-weapon... Thompson has the circular magazine, 50 rounds I think. Chicago Piano we called them over here.

    Not the SS Lady Wicklow and not taken at Passage West. This is the London & North Western Railway Company's Dublin/Holyhead ferry S.S. Arvonia at Albert Quay, Cork. She was requisitioned as a troopship in Aug 1922 by the irish Free State and later used as an internment ship..... taken sometime after General Dalton landed 456 men at Passage West on August 8th. catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000280472

    On the OSI 25" there are two large blocks of buidlings listed as granaries facing on to the waterfront just downstream of the ferry crossing. Clear view of any boats coming upstream from Queenstown (Cobh) and control of the east side of the ferry crossing and plenty of space to billet troops. Modern day view on earth view show apartment block and carpark. If this is the place Morning Mary it is for the NLS folder.

    Cork. I wonder if this is the back of the
    Court House on the right, looking towards
    Washington Street. The photographer
    would then have his back to St Francis
    Liberty Street.
