Rathfarnham 1916
I had originally thought these photos were purely WW1 related however it seems they are connected to the arrest of 22 men on May 9th, 1916 in the aftermath of the Easter Rising. I believe all the men were later released.
This photo taken on Main Street, Rathfarnham in front of the Munster & Leinster Bank. The building in the left background was a Royal Irish Constabulary barracks. The vehicles all belong to the Royal Navy.
There is a mention of the arrests in this account from the Annals of Loreto Abbey,
