Children chatting to soldiers during the Irish Civil War. Our metadata suggests these troop were "passing through to an attack on Irregulars Stronghold".
Love the immediacy of this photo, where even the cloud of smoke exhaled by the soldier near the door of the truck has been captured…
Date: 27 July 1922

Great photo.
Amazing scene… children and soldiers… interesting combination
in this capture… wonder what city and which church standing
so prominently in the distance… all works together quite well!!!
Actually this was the month and year my dad was born… interesting!!!
( Lhp ) Good photo. In the States Celtic Thunder ( Irish Singers ) sung that we will fight until our Recompense Is Spoken. ( The luck of the Irish ) God bless Ireland – - -
I am more interested in the truck. Would like to know the make and model.
So would I! Know that somewhere among you, there’s a truck expert… So don’t be shy!
A fabulous picture. Its a Leyland lorry.
