Beautiful Shot!

Those pistols seem a little surplus to requirments with those two Lewis gun teams on deck !!.

philip ward I think it's safe to say that this shot is very posed! Not convinced that they were aiming at anything in particular besides providing a good propaganda photo...

Given there are no spent cartridges on the deck I would agree its posed. Free State Government had a very good Propaganda Department alright.

I saw a documentary on Dan Breen over the weekend on TV4. Breen was involved in this ambush and was badly wounded. His views on killing were stark. see youtu.be/ty_U6U8iiTg

The ambush was at Ashtown crossroads near the Halway House (then Kellys), but the whole area has been rebuilt. Even the crossroads is a big roundabout now.

the Ambush was 19th December 1919. I would think this photo is dated very soon after that.
