    Is May correct? She was released from Holloway prison on Friday 15th March and arrived in Dublin the following day and made a speech from the windows of Liberty Hall (according to press reports).

    Merry Christmas NLI Marys and everyone - thanks for all the flickroonie fun this year! No idea who these people are, but the Countess Markievicz seems to have been one huge character - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constance_Markievicz

    John Spooner I suspect that the question mark behind May in the title was to seek clarification on that point John. If it was her release from prison in March then what, if anything, was happening in May or was this March???

    beachcomber australia If further evidence of her forceful character were needed (and it isn't) this is how she summed up her treatment in Holloway Prison

    I wonder is that really a British military uniform... It could be the uniform of a particular office such as a Lord Lieutenant etc. Also, the medals are unusual in that each appears to have a circular rosette on the ribbon - Could they represent orders? The badge at his neck could be that of the French Légion d'honneur, but the star on his chest is different. Perhaps he is a diplomat?

    A detailed pdf document at some library or other. Arthur Patrick O’Brien was born in London on 25 September 1872 ... In early 1919, partly on Collins’ suggestion, Ó Briain was appointed the envoy of Dáil Eireann in Britain ... In March 1923, however, Ó Briain and many others were arrested and deported to Ireland. ...From 1924 to 1932, Ó Briain was effectively absent from public life ... To the surprise of many, he was appointed Irish Minister to France and Belgium in June 1935; a position he held until September 1938 when he retired.

    I'm guessing this is 1935-38, and the other guy is French or Belgian.
