Summary

[edit]
Description

This poignant shot shows a young man repairing a house that had apparently been damaged in a raid during the "War of Independence" (1919-1921) and is a reminder of significantly less-certain times. The younger child seems nonplussed - even if her (or his?) ball is a bit deflated.

Thanks to [/photos/129555378@N07/ sharon.corbet], [/photos/75556178@N05/ inverarra] and [/photos/swordscookie/ swordscookie] for the additional information on the reprisal events which preceded this photo - and indeed for reminding us of the supposed "miraculous" events which occurred around the same time and perhaps gave people some hope in an otherwise dark period. As [/photos/swordscookie/ swordscookie] and [/photos/8468254@N02/ derangedlemur] point-out, identifying the specific house may be difficult - so for now we've just mapped to the centre of Templemore...
