The Four Ronnies

 

This photo, posted by Tony Foley on the C Coy Facebook page shows Liam Quinn, Henry Kearns, Willie Dillon and Martin C. Murphy. I am re-posting it here in honour of “Movember”.

When posted on FB it prompted much hilarity with Seamus Fitzgerald explaining “This was a stash of ronnies discovered in an abandoned part of the Brugha that the 21st were put into one night. The ronnies were left there by the British army in the early 20s – sadly there were no boots discovered.”

David Flood commented he heard that when they were being phased out of the PDF in favour of the clean-cut Action Man look, like with the greatcoats they just issued one to everyone to get rid of them!
