Three of these men were from 3rd Battalion RIR, Privates Michael Carr, James Duffy & Thomas Treacy. It is believed that they had been wounded and died here as the Regiment rested and in keeping with the practise that the regiment had been used to on the Western Front, they were buried where they fell. https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828143 159828143 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828144 159828144 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828145 159828145 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828146 159828146 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828147 159828147 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828165 159828165 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828148 159828148 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828149 159828149 Branch chairman, Ian Chambers. https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828150 159828150 Parade of Standards. https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828166 159828166 The Wreath Laying. https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828151 159828151 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828152 159828152 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828153 159828153 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828154 159828154 The Branches Wreath https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828157 159828157 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828155 159828155 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828156 159828156 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828158 159828158 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828159 159828159 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828160 159828160 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828161 159828161 https://wfadublin.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=159828162 159828162 'Old Contemptible's Association' This is the original 'Colours' of the Dublin Central Branch of the Old Contemptible's Association and so must be about 80 years old.
