    Is the gentleman on the lower rungs of the ladder in handcuffs? It certainly looks as if we are in the immediate aftermath of an extremely dramatic event.
  • Suck Diesel said:
    mrsbabchurch Those brave men who defended Dr. Tully were taken prisoner.
    No dissent was allowed by the occupying forces.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    mrsbabchurch I think so; lots of details on the previous photo post.

    Via Trove, Francis Charles Tully's obituary from 1927, including a photo - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/258727740
  • Suck Diesel said:
    mrsbabchurch Could be Dr Tully himself on the ladder after being struck by a rifle butt.
    Could have been worse as some of the other defenders received bayonet,wounds to the face.

    There is a note that says;Full caption reads: "The Royal Irish Constabulary on their last 'inspection parade' in one of the city police barracks. Their place is now taken by the civic guard manned and officered by Irishmen"..

    The photos around it seem to be Cork-ish as well, with the usual caveat that I don't know if the collection is ordered in any way.

"Intelligence" photograph from 1921

    Looks like it might have been taken at Dublin Castle or at an army barracks in Dublin. It identifies a few detectives from 'G Division' of the Dublin Metropolitan Police and other military figures, so it was probably used by IRA Intelligence, perhaps under the direction of Michael Collins.
