Rath Internment Camp, The Curragh, 1921

Photograph taken by Joseph Lawless in Rath Internment Camp, The Curragh, 1921. View from inside the doorway of No.1 Hut, looking east. Shows Sergeant Roper of the Black Watch in the centre; to the left foreground is fellow prisoner Ed McEvoy. Roper heard the click of the camera but did not know who had taken the photo, and McEvoy alarmed him by saying that it would be used to identify him to the prisoners' friends on the outside.
