EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the 2nd Battalion Leinster Regiment, stationed in Colchester, Essex, during June 1922. The image is one of four in a collection that chronicles the history of this esteemed Irish regiment from its inception in 1903 through to its disbandment in 1922. The soldiers in this portrait are seen standing in two rows, proudly wearing their uniforms adorned with regimental insignia and brass buttons. Their stern expressions and military posture convey a sense of discipline and readiness. The backdrop of the photograph is a lush, green field, adding a pastoral touch to the image. The 2nd Battalion Leinster Regiment, also known as the "Royal Leinsters," had a rich history, having seen action in both World War I and the Irish War of Independence. By the time this photograph was taken, the regiment was in the process of being demobilized and eventually disbanded due to the political changes taking place in Ireland. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the men who served in the 2nd Battalion Leinster Regiment during these pivotal years. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers and the historical significance of their service.
