It appears to be Michael Gambon and some other fellow. Here he is with his hat on: www.imdb.com/media/rm2044238080/nm0002091?ref_=nmmd_md_pv

derangedlemur That would explain why I can't find him in the census...
Sharon Corbet said:
Possibly the "Synnott" is the founder (or son of) of John A. Sinnott which is around since 1865.
derangedlemur said:
I didn't see a matching Sinnott, Synnot or Synott in the census either, so if he's spelt wrong, it's in some quite random fashion.
derangedlemur said:
Sharon Corbet Maybe it was commissioned in the firm's name and there were already no Sinnotts left in the firm by that stage.

We have heard of the Irish Brigade before - Roger Casement's plan to recruit Irishmen in German POW camps to fight for Ireland instead. He made an agreement with the Germans in Dec 1914, and managed to get 50 or so men to sign up. I think the plan ended with his death, so this must be in 1915 or early 16.
Niall McAuley said:
Wikipedia has the same photo, and says 1915.

Niall McAuley Date done.

The wiki image gives names for all the men, but I don't know where the names come from: Cpl Peter Golden, Sgt Maj Keogh, Cpl O'Mahony, Sgt Daniel Julien Bailey (alias Beverley), Interpreter Zerhussen, Cpl Kavanagh, Cpl O'Callaghan, QMS H. Quinlisk

AI Overview

The image is a caricature of Richard Pigott, an Irish journalist and forger, published in Vanity Fair on March 9, 1889. The caricature was drawn by Leslie Ward, known by his pseudonym "Spy".
Richard Pigott (1828–1889) was a prominent figure in the Irish press and politics of his time, known for his involvement in the Pigott Forgeries.
The Pigott Forgeries were a series of forged letters published in The Times newspaper in 1887, falsely implicating Charles Stewart Parnell, leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party, in the Phoenix Park Murders.
Exposure: Pigott was exposed as the forger during a special commission established to investigate the letters, admitting his role under cross-examination.
Aftermath: The exposure led to a libel settlement against The Times and significantly impacted Pigott's reputation and life.

Suck Diesel Very interesting. I suppose we would say fake news today!

Sir Leslie Matthew Ward (21 November 1851 – 15 May 1922), was himself caricatured. Artistic justice!

Wiki is interesting - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_Ward

Sadly Mr Pigott committed suicide in Madrid in 1889. (I had a fleeting thought he might be the 'Fat Controller' in yesterday's photo!)
