Hmmm, must have asked their nearly blind aunties to hem up their trousers, because they are all different lengths. For some unknown reason the twelfth Garda Recruit from the left has had his uniform faded . . . maybe to identify him or single him out from the rest. It would be good to determine names of each and then know what part they played in the history of Ireland. The purpose of "Dress Right Dress" command, is to make a near perfect rank of troops. Then the second command, which does not look like it was executed is to "Cover", behind the man in front, done by extending one's arm, to just touch his shoulder, this makes each rank equidistant from the other. This is typically done for inspection and marching and parades, etc.

There’s a British Pathé video of about the same date (January 1923) showing the Civic Guards in Training. In fact it may even be the same occasion, see from around 00:45.

They only became the Garda Síochána later in 1923, according to Wikipedia. At this point they were still called the Civic Guards.

More details here - theirishrevolution.ie/1921-21/#.XA-OtVAvPnE "... The funeral ceremonies for Armstrong-Holmes were complex and impressive: ‘The body of Major Holmes was removed from Cork Military Hospital yesterday [31 January 1921] and conveyed to Dublin by the morning train. Full military honours were accorded, and a large number of military and police accompanied the remains to Glanmire Station, where a military band played the “Dead March.” The funeral takes place to-day with full military honours from George V Hospital at 11 a.m. to Mount Jerome Cemetery.’ See II, 1 Feb. 1921. ..."

Huge crowd gathered at Cashel, Co. Tipperary for Corpus Christi procession

from National Library of Ireland on The Commons

Sharon Corbet said:
An article in the August 17, 1923 edition of the Southern Cross says the following: "On Sunday, June 3, for the first time in 300 years, Benediction of the Most Holy Sacrament, was given inside the gates of the historic old castle at Cashel, on the occasion of a Corpus Christi procession. It is stated that only once before was Benediction given inside these gates, and on the Rock, and then only by stealth. Giving a date of Sunday June 3rd 1923. (Though isn't Corpus Christi normally on a Thursday?)

Interesting - Thanks Sharon Corbet. Seems plausible that the "circa 1922" range could easily encompass/account for a mid 1923 date....
