EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of unity and camaraderie between Frontier Guards from both sides of the Ulster border in 1924. The image, taken on the bridge at Pettigo, shows soldiers from the Free State Army (on the left) and the Royal Irish Constabulary (R.I.C.) from the Ulster side (on the right) engaging in friendly conversation. The Ulster border, marked by the bridge's centerline, was a significant dividing line between the Irish Free State and Northern Ireland during this period of Irish history. Despite the political and military tensions that existed between the two entities, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into a moment of peace and interaction between the two groups. The soldiers' relaxed posture and casual attire add to the informal and friendly atmosphere of the scene. The bridge, which spans the River Finn, connects the village of Pettigo in the Irish Free State with the town of Strabane in Northern Ireland, and has been a symbol of the complex and often fraught relationship between the two regions. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the human connections that existed amidst the larger political and military conflicts of the time.
