Thank you for your much valued information I am very grateful to receive any information that adds to Christopher's WW1 history.
I recently found this photo inside a WW1 christmas card dated 1917 along with letters from his sister Frances dated 1917 and another from his brother William dated 1918, also a field service post card dated January 1918 from Christopher all addressed to my grandmother. The home address on the letters are Lower Glengariff Parade, Dublin it appears the family were living there in the 1901 and 1911 Irish census records, these details would suggest he was born 1892/3
My idea is to forward the letters,
field card and photo to an interested museum or group but i have no idea who to contact or even if snyonr would be interested in this small piece of WW1 history.
Thank you again I will add your information to my grandmother's sweetheart history

Thank you all for your information in dating this photo. The lady's dress standing in shop doorway on the left of the barracks must also support the early date for the WW1 time frame. I have no family connection with RIC but have a great interest in local history.

Thank you NSWP for your help. I want to write some details with this photo so your information is very valuable. I do have another photo of him again no details other than "Driver" pencilled on the back...He looks so young
