    Hi,
    I just got one nice portrait of Warrant Officer from Royal Irish Fusiliers. Picture is made by J.E.Beehan, Rathmines Studio, Dublin.

    Does anyone can determinate a period, when this photo was made? Looks like he has two place ribbon bar as well. Unfortunately zooming do not help to see what awards he had. QSA/KSA pair perhaps?
    Now, because the picture is made in Dublin, maybe someone know who he was?

    Regards,

    Timo

    Regards the RIF picture, I know now that he is sergeant major, pre 1908 cord shoulder straps. Probably has QSA and KSA ribbon bar.

    Here is few more pictures

    2. Royal Regiment of Artillery, 2nd Lieutenant. 1917 upwards. I got the picture from Dublin.

    5. Territorial Royal Garrison Artillery (?). Cant figure out what ribbon bar he had. Perhaps Effiency Medal?
