The picture below shows Capt Monteith in a similar pose!
The picture below is a postcard/photograph that was sent to my father by his father on 31st October 1914 and was posted in Phibsborough. My grandfather is 2nd from the right - not 3rd from the right as detailed below.
We also have a copy of the photograph where the names of the officers shown are noted as follows ...................
Capt. R Monteith, Chief Instr. CJ Bodkin, Capt R Daly, Capt M Judge, Capt. TW Kerrigan, Capt T McDonagh, Capt JF Magee,
Capt. J Lenehan, Capt. V McGarry
The photograph seems to have been around the block a few times, it can be seen in the following books ....................
1916: The Easter Rising by Tim Pat Coogan (Page 47) and
The Howth Gun-Running 1914 by FX Martin OSA (Opposite page 134)
The caption beneath the photograph says "Volunteer officers receive orders before the march. Capt Monteith at extreme left; Capt Judge fifth from left."
If the caption to the photograph is correct (I wonder?) it would date the photo to the day of the landing at Howth on 26 July 1914.

Hugo - I wonder if I could ask for your email address as I have been trying to find out who owns that image that you have posted to get permission to use it in an Irish documentary series about 7 men who were executed in the aftermath of the 1916 Rising.
Many Thanks, Karen
