Charles Stewart Henry Vane-Tempest-Stewart, 7th Marquess of Londonderry, KG, MVO, PC, PC (Ire) (13 May 1878 – 10 February 1949), styled Lord Stewart until 1884 and Viscount Castlereagh between 1884 and 1915, was an Anglo-Irish peer known for his political career in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and, later, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. He is best remembered for his tenure as Secretary of State for Air in the 1930s and for his links with the Appeasement policy towards Nazi Germany. From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Vane-Tempest-Stewart,_7th_M...

His grand daughter Lady Annabel Goldsmith (formerly Birley, née Vane-Tempest-Stewart; born 11 June 1934) is an English socialite and the eponym for a celebrated London nightclub of the late 20th century, Annabel's. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Annabel_Goldsmith

After the 1935 General Election Baldwin took the oppotunity to sack him. The sense of hurt Londonderry felt at this, and of accusations that he had misled Baldwin about the strength Nazi Germany's air force, led him to seek to clear his reputation as a 'warmonger' by engaging in amateur diplomacy. This involved visits to senior Nazis in Germany, and briefings with government officials in London. His high profile promotion of 'Anglo-German' friendship, in the end, marked him with a far greater slur than that which had led him to engage in appeasement in the first place. After playing a marginal role in the overthrow of Neville Chamberlain in 1940, he failed to win any favour from his cousin, Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Without office he produced his memoirs, Wings of Destiny (1943), a relatively short book that was considerably censored by his former colleagues. state.chemistrydaily.com/chemistry/Charles_Vane-Tempest-S...

Lord Londonderry also had an illegitimate daughter with actress Fannie Ward, named Dorothé Mabel Lewis. She first married, in 1918, a nephew of mining magnate Barney Barnato, Capt. Jack Barnato, who died of pneumonia shortly after their wedding. Her second husband, whom she married in 1922, was Terence Plunket, 6th Baron Plunket, and with him she had three sons: Patrick Plunket, 7th Baron Plunket, Robin Plunket, 8th Baron Plunket, and the Hon Shaun Plunket. Lord and Lady Plunket were killed in an airplane crash in California in 1938. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Vane-Tempest-Stewart,_7th_M...

Having suffered a stroke after a gliding accident a few years after the end of the war, Lord Londonderry died on 10 February 1949 at Mount Stewart, County Down, aged 70. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Vane-Tempest-Stewart,_7th_M...

Bob Mockler was the Dublin Captain on the day. I was at Croke Park yesterday - still very disappointed by the result.

Don't forget. EDIT Found this about the above photo. Michael Collins addresses the Kilkenny team before the Leinster Final against Dublin, Sept 1921. From left: Paddy Donoghue(Dicksboro), Mattie Power(Dicksboro), Dick Grace(Tullaroan), Michael Joyce(Callan), Martin Egan(Threecastles), Bill Kenny(Lisdowney), Jack Holohan(from Johnstown, played with Tullaroan), Michael Collins and Harry Boland. Collins and Boland(Chairman, Dublin County Board and Sinn Féin TD for Roscommon), though great friends, found themselves on opposite sides in the Civil War which would claim both of their lives within a year.

Mockler Played for Tipperary in his early career and Dublin later on. Note it was a Seventeen man game then!!!. We have come across Mr Mockler before. Robert "Bob" Mockler (born 1885) was an Irish hurler who played as a midfielder for the Tipperary and Dublin senior teams from 1909 until 1924. Mockler made his first appearance for the Tipperary team during the 1908 championship and was a regular member of the starting seventeen for the next few seasons. He subsequently enjoyed a decade long career with Dublin before retiring from the game after the 1924 championship. During that time he won three All-Ireland medals, five Leinster medals and one Munster medal.[1] Mockler captained Dublin to the All-Ireland title in 1920. Mockler began his club career with Horse and Jockey before later winning six county championship medals with Faughs in Dublin from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Mockler

DannyM8 Hadn't forgotten, just really liked this one. Saw blurry photo of Bob Mockler somewhere, and I've put a note on who I think he might be in the shot - absolutely willing to be corrected!

I think that is Bob to the Right of Collins see and

Beaslai himself??

Suck Diesel I'm not convinced. There are similarities, but Piaras Béaslaí was very distinctive looking...
