The cap badge seems to be a rampant lion on a crossed ribbon.

London Scottish, possibly. Kilt, badge and sporran all seem to match. That may be true for many regiments though.

Is catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000281336 the same guy and is there any more detail in it?

wrt London Scottish: The 1st battalion served in Ireland between October 1919 and January 1920. 2nd battalion in 1921.

derangedlemur No, BEA33 is another chap altogether.

Lieutenant Thomas O'Brien GORE-HICKMAN The Royal Dublin Fusiliers. Date: 1914-1919; 1936. From discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/details/C10981...

From "Raids and Rallies" (Ernie O'Malley):

(1921) "Dr Finegan was referring to five officers of the Leitrim brigade - a portion or a column under Seán Connolly from the Longford Brigade - who had been killed by the British on 11 March at Selton Hill, County Leitrim after information of their presence had been given to Thomas Gore-Hickman, the District Inspector of the RIC in Mohill

From: "Rising out: Seán Connolly of Longford (1890-1921)" (Ernie O'Malley, Cormac K. H. O'Malley)

the lorry was the oridinary passing lorry of troops, he went up towards it for it had halted outside of McCullough's gate. A police officer, Thomas Gore-Hickman, the RIC District Inspector in Mohill, got out of a car which was behind the soldiers and walked over to Flynn: 'Did you see any armed men around here', he asked? 'No, I didn't, I was at school all day'...

Here is young Thomas at home in Clare in 1901's census You can see that his Uncle Thomas is an O'Brien. In the Landed Estates Database, we have the Hickman family of Kilmore House, and a Gore connection: Francis William Gore of Tyredagh assumed the surname of Hickman in 1878. Why? Because: In 1824, Mary Browne, daughter of Edmond and Anne Browne, married Francis Gore and their descendants eventually inherited the Hickman estate by the will of Anne’s brother, Poole Hickman, who died in 1842. He was succeeded by his sister, Letitia Hickman, who held an estate comprised of at least nine townlands in the parishes of Killimer and Kilmurry at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. So Francis Gore married into the Hickman family, and when Francis inherited the Hickman lands, he assumed the name Hickman (a condition of the will, maybe?), and gave just that name in the census of 1901 and 1911 . Thomas evidently felt he should restore the Gore name, as well as double-barrelling with his mothers surname [Edit:]Francis's father was named Francis Gore too, so I'm not sure which of them inherited/changed his name...

Hickman’s eldest son Thomas had joined the Auxialiaries and gained a notorious reputation in the Longford / Roscommon area. In response to the burning of the family homes and businesses of known I.R.A. members by the R.I.C., the I.R.A. had begun arson attacks on the family homes of men who had joined the Black & Tans and the Auxiliaries in both Britain and Ireland. District Inspector Thomas Hickman a member of the R.I.C. Auxiliary Division There are a number of possible motives why Kilmore was burnt; Hickman’s unpopularity, jealousy of Behan as cited by the R.I.C., the use of the house by the British Army, or his son’s membership of the Auxiliaries. On 5 July 1921, Hazelwood House in Quin, another property belonging to Hickman, was burned down by the I.R.A. Hazelwood and its contents were valued at one hundred thousand pounds.

McGlade - everything you wanted to know but were afraid to ask and asked about
(Daily Herald - Thursday 02 January 1913)

Bernard McGlade. Leicester Chronicle - Saturday 05 November 1898:

At Dublin on Saturday Mr John Doyle, confectioner, recovered 20 guineas damages from Bernard McGlade, billposter, for libel and conspiracy to slander. Mr Doyle had ceased to employ a trade unionist, and as a consequence of this action the trade union employed Mr McGlade to distribute circulars through the streets exhorting the public to have nothing to do with Doyle's confectionery.

More detail in Cotton Factory Times - Friday 04 November 1898:

The plaintiff's case was that a trade union official Game to him and told him thnt as he had ceased to employ a man who refused to work unless employed by the week, and had taken on another man by the day, he must "beware of himself." The next day and on some following days a man dressed as a clown, who was in the defendant's employ, stood Opposite the plaintiff's house and handed to the people who passed a handbill with the following offensive contents : " Rats I Rats! Rats! at J. G. Doyle's, Capel-street. Scab labour at J. G. Doyle's. Outcasts of Confectioners' Trade Union at J. G. Doyle's. Down with scab labour. Exterminate the Rats ! Rats! Rats!"— The plaintiff gave the man into custody, but the magistrate said he would not punish him, as the real criminal was McGlade.

and

In the meantime though McGlade ceased to send out bills the prosecution of the plaintiff did not cease, boys being sent to the shop who shouted out to customers " Don't go in and take scab cakes and sweets,t;" and to plaintiff's girls when they went out, "rats."

1901 census Bernard McGlade of Middle Abbey Street, 44, profession mistranscribed as 'pill porter', married with 4 children, one of whom is also a 'bill porter' (although either his wife Fanny's age is wrong or they were from a previous marriage). In the 1911 census the children have flown the nest, his wife (now Margaret) is the regulation 10 years older but Bernard is only one year older.

John Spooner Thank you, John. We asked if we could find out anything about Mr McGlade, but never dreamed of a story involving a henchman "... dressed as a clown"!

Dublin Evening Telegraph - Monday 1 August 1904: "The Oireachtas, the annual festival of the Gaelic League, was opened today at the Rotunda, and will continue each day during the week." Or possibly 1910, when it opened on Monday 1st August. (Evening Irish Times - Tuesday 2 August 1910)
