Winston Churchill visits Prime Minister - Curragh incident
Winston Churchill visits the Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith on Monday 26th 1914 following the Curragh incident of 20th March 1914 (also known as the Curragh mutiny). With Irish Home Rule due to become law in 1914, the British Cabinet contemplated some kind of military action against the Ulster Volunteers who threatened to rebel against it. Many officers, especially those with Irish Protestant connections, of whom the most prominent was Hubert Gough, threatened to resign rather than obey, privately encouraged from London by senior officers including Henry Wilson. Date: 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken on Monday, 26th of March 1914, Winston Churchill, then First Lord of the Admiralty, pays a visit to Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith following the Curragh incident. Amidst the looming threat of Irish Home Rule, due to take effect in 1914, the British Cabinet was contemplating military action against the Ulster Volunteers, who vowed to rebel against it. Many officers, particularly those with Irish Protestant connections, threatened to resign rather than obey. The most prominent among them was General Hubert Gough. Senior officers, including General Henry Wilson, privately encouraged this defiance from London. The Curragh incident, also known as the Curragh mutiny, marked a significant turning point in Irish politics and added fuel to the growing crisis. Churchill's purposeful stride and determined expression as he approaches Asquith's residence underscore the gravity of the situation and the urgency of finding a resolution. The photograph captures a pivotal moment in British and Irish history, as two political heavyweights confront the complexities of a deeply divisive issue.
