While we didn’t manage to identify yesterday’s military man, today we know the where, the when, and the why. The burning of the centre of Cork city by Crown forces in 1920 was a monstrous act of vandalism. This fine Hogan-Wilson photograph gives some idea of the scale and the devastation inflicted!
Just to remind people that there is an important exhibition of photographs from this period in Irish history showing in the National Photographic Archive, Meeting House Square, Dublin entitled “From Turmoil to Truce”
Photographer: W. D. Hogan
Collection: Hogan Wilson Collection
Date: Circa 13 December 1920

Perfect timing, Morning Mary. This devastation was wrought on the night of 11/12 December 1920. And we think from research for our current exhibition at Meeting House Square in Temple Bar that this photograph was taken around 13 December 1920.

Mr Hogan went up a nearby high building too - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000280677 And flickr is sometimes amazing! Another photographer (or was it Mr Hogan?) was up high also - see how the crowds are being kept back ...

Three months later, in March 1921, it was not so "Louvain" looking, and the 'Dispensing Chemist' facade had fallen down ... https://www.flickr.com/photos/nlireland/16037291180/
