  From which we learn that this is July 1922 at Cruise's Royal Hotel in Limerick.

  It wasn’t until 1928 (UK) that total voting emancipation occurred for women with voting under the age of 30 (Rep of the People Act). My mum recalled her mother voting for the first time. But yes - definitely a historic day today. I assume it was the same in N. Ireland. When did it change in the Rep of Ireland? This is stunningly clear photo - it is easy to see their features - they would be recognisable.

  I've just spent a fruitless five minutes trying to judge whether HOG12 was taken earlier than HOG133 by the length of the cigarettes, but came to no definite conclusion. Just that the one in the middle has a butt in his hand, as do the two to his right.

  Battle of Balaclava

[R.M.S. Olympic at Pier 2] carrying troops

from Halifax Municipal Archives

• James Mogey said:

  This must have been taken sometime in 1916. Olympic was chartered by the Canadian government in that year for troop transport and was still painted in wartime grey with blackened funnels (as shown). In 1917, and until the end of the war, she was painted in dazzle camouflage.

  James Mogey Thanks for catching this for us - the date has been updated here and in our database.

• LoricTheMad said:

  Definitely 1916, probably October, as this image closely matches one in the archives of the Cape Breton Military History Collections, found here.

  LoricTheMad Thanks for the additional information! We've updated the date to reflect the likelihood of the photo being taken in October of 1916.
