I would suggest it is probably taken during the 1941 celebrations given the style of the civilian dress and Irish Army uniforms. Could be 26th Batt ‘Old IRA’ members? Regards
Dear Volunteers.Org,
don’t think this is 1966 – the National Army in the background have peaked caps – in 1966 I think they had the beret!
Could be 1956 as the national army uniform is also similar to the one worn by troops on their way to the Congo.
But…perhaps I am not correct either and the National Army troops in the backgroup are re-enactment dressed in the style of the old Volunteers!
