Default Rare photos of 14th Battalion Roysl Irish Rifles

Apologies to anyone from outside the UK who cannot access the BBC iPlayer , but here is a fantastic programme about a collection of recently unearthed photographs in the Ulster Museum which belonged to a gentleman called George Hackney who served in the 14 th (Young Citizens) Battalion of the Royal a Irish a Rifles in WW1. There are lots of absolutely unique battlefield photographs shown, and lots of good insignia shots for those interested.
I would imagine that these will become much more widely known over the next while. I believe that they will be part of a forthcoming exhibition at the museum. I wouldn't be surprised if they get published in book form.

I have tried pasting the link unsuccessfully, but if you search the title, The man who shot the Great War, hopefully it will bring it up.

For those of us who haven't got iplayer & would like to see some of the photos, try this

Note the YCV metal shoulder title of the Sgt in the trenches & the cap badge of the guy washing the other's back.
