    A slightly different Poole photo to this one, where some of the students are in different positions (though all of them are in the photo) was published in the Cork Examiner on Friday, 1 August 1924. The caption read: "IRISH CLASSES AT ST. DECLAN’S COLLEGE", and underneath it said: "Students at St. Declan’s College Ardmore, Co. Waterford, an Irish-speaking district, where well-attended Irish classes for teachers have been held all this month. Many familiar faces will be seen in this group, as they are all well-known and popular teachers from the South of Ireland. (Poole, Waterford)."

    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
  • Niall McAuley said:
    The caption from one of those images, very similar to this one: WITH CAPTAIN HANNON, ONE OF THE WOUNDED.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I don't think the cheeky chappie wounded in this one is Captain Hannon though, the Captain looks to be taller and more elegant.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    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)

    O Mac Could it be something to do with the Cardiff "Hall" Line? www.wrecksite.eu/img/wrecks/grindonhall1.jpg

    In the 1911 census, there are 6 E. Perkinseses. I like Earnest, who is a Marine Engineer living on a house ship in the port of Dundalk.
