photograph / Custom House, 25 May 1921

Photograph - A group of I.R.A. prisoners with an Auxiliary, taken outside the Custom House after the burning 25 May 1921. Taken from under the Loop Line Bridge. Pictured from left to right- Volunteer Watchorn, from Carlow, an Auxiliary named Thompson, known as 'Tiny', Captain Wilson of Dublin, Volunteer Flood of Dublin (no relation of Frank Flood), a person unknown, and Commandant Tom Flood, the brother of Frank Flood. Photograph taken by an Auxiliary. A print of it was passed by a friend of the movement in the studio where it was left to be developed to the I.R.A. Intelligence Department. This was a common practice availed of to identify Auxiliaries. J. Wearen had this actual print and had this negative made from it when there was danger of the destruction of the print by wear.;
