    I never did like Sergeants, nasty beggars always shouting and roaring and giving people a hard time! I think that the collective for that horrible rank should be a "Bellow" of Sergeants? Those daft looking Pillbox hats make them look different but I suspect that he is the man on the left front on the right side of the officer with the sword.

    From this informative site , I found "a subtlety of sergeants at law", but I think that refers to some sort of a fancy lawyer, and there's nothing too subtle about these sergeants.

    At a guess (and after a few mins of Google-fu), these chaps are from the Royal Horse Artillery.

    Some have the Royal Artillery badge above their stripes. All are wearing snake belt buckles with blanco on the belt. Here are some earlier uniforms of the RA. www.britishempire.co.uk/forces/armyuniforms/britishartill... "The Sam Browne belt was ordered to be gradually introduced from 1898 to replace the white pouchbelt and binoculars case."

    I can't find a date for when the YCV officially became the 14th Battallion, but it was in 1914, the year of this photo.

    7 June 1924 was a Saturday. No moustaches! Is this because of Civic Guards regulations, or fashion in 1924?

    The sergeant seated to the right of the officer (from our viewpoint) and the Garda standing immediately behind the officers are wearing a shield-shaped pins on their uniforms - probably indicative of their membership of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association. Permission was given to PTTA members to wear their Pioneer Pin on their uniforms (according to message #8 in this link: irishconstabulary.com/the-civic-guard-t1554.html)
