The Greek Association of Brisbane was established in 1913. In May 1921 it purchased Concordia Hall at 44-48 Charlotte Street (27.4717°S 153.0259°E) and renamed it Hellenic House to be used as a gathering place for the Greek community.[2] Greek Orthodox services in Brisbane were initially conducted in St Luke's Anglican Church (also in Charlotte Street) and the Wharf Street Congregational Church,[3][4] until St George's was officially opened as the first Greek Orthodox church in Queensland in front of Hellenic House on 30 March 1929.[5][6] However, the growth in Brisbane's Greek population, particularly after World War II, resulted in a need for a larger church. A new St George's Greek Orthodox Church was built at 33 Edmondstone Street (corner Besant Street) at South Brisbane (27.4799°S 153.0156°E) and opened on 24 April 1960.[7] A new Greek community center (now the Greek Club) was built beside the South Brisbane church, opening in 1976. The Charlotte Street property was sold in 1981 and the Greek buildings on the site no longer exist.[8] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Street,_Brisbane#:~:text=....

They can't be too far from action - There's a fellah beside the wheel wearing a bandolier.

derangedlemur I guess with a country this size, being on a ship wouldn't ever leave you very far from shore/action...

The Free State's forces took the south and west of Ireland with landings from the sea. Seaborne landings were the first proposed by Emmet Dalton and then adopted by Michael Collins. Their plan was to avoid the hard fighting that would inevitably occur if they advanced overland through Republican held Munster and Connaught. To this end, they commandeered several civilian passenger ships to transport troops. They were the Arvonia and the SS Lady Wicklow[4] They were escorted by British naval vessels [5]

National Library of Ireland on The Commons haha this said, try to be in a place smaller than Ireland - like Kuwait :)

The first naval landing took place at Clew Bay in County Mayo on 24 July and helped re-take the west of Ireland for the Free State. This force, consisting of 400 Free State soldiers, one field gun and an armoured car under Christopher O'Malley, re-took the Republican held town of Westport and linked up with another Free State column under Sean MacEoin advancing from Castlebar. A Free State column also dispersed anti-Treaty IRA forces in Donegal in Ireland's north-west. The largest seaborne landings took place in the south. Ships disembarked about 2,000 well equipped Free State troops into the heart of the "Munster Republic" and caused the rapid collapse of the Republican position in this province. Paddy Daly and the Dublin Guard landed at Fenit in County Kerry on 31 July and fought their way into Tralee at the cost of 9 killed and 35 wounded. They were reinforced on 3 August, by around 250 pro-treaty IRA men from County Clare, embarked from Kilrush to Tarbert in fishing boats. The Free State forces rapidly occupied the towns in the county but the Republican units in Kerry survived more or less intact and would fight a determined guerrilla campaign for the remainder of the war. If the Munster Republic had a capital, it was Cork and the largest seaborne landings of the civil war were aimed at taking that city. Emmet Dalton led 800 troops, with two artillery pieces and armoured cars, who landed at Passage West, near the city, on 8 August. A further 200 men were put ashore at Youghal and 180 troops landed at Glandore. After some fighting at Rochestown in which 9 Free State and 7 Republican fighters were killed, the badly armed anti-treaty IRA in Cork did not try to resist this offensive but burned Charles Barracks, near Kinsale, which they were holding, and dispersed. On 10 August, Cork city was retaken, the last city to fall in the "Munster Republic". Liam Lynch, the Republican commander in chief abandoned Fermoy, the last Republican held town, the following day. In leaving Fermoy, he issued an order to troops under his command to stop trying to hold fixed positions and to form flying columns to pursue guerrilla warfare.

There was a barricade across the street in front of the Hotel at one point, see pictures here at Limerick City Museum from the Illustrated London News, Saturday 29 July 1922

The caption from one of those images, very similar to this one: WITH CAPTAIN HANNON, ONE OF THE WOUNDED.

I don't think the cheeky chappie wounded in this one is Captain Hannon though, the Captain looks to be taller and more elegant.

From the blurb for the book The Battle for Limerick City: The opening shots of the Irish Civil War in Limerick city were fired on 11 July 1922. The city was of vital strategic importance in the fight for control of the newly independent Ireland, and both Free State and republican troops were determined to secure the city for their respective causes. At the outset the republicans controlled the citys four military barracks and Thomond and Sarsfield bridges. The Free State forces held the custom house, Limerick prison, the courthouse, William Street RIC barracks and Cruises Hotel. Battle lines were drawn and over the course of the following two weeks, fighting raged throughout the city until superior numbers and arms gave victory to the Free State army.

Niall McAuley Definitely not Captain Hannon! So July in 1922 then, thanks Niall. (Still trying to have a proper look at the Illustrated London News photo, but our interweb is playing up today)
