I have come across two old family photographs of a group of about 20 people.
The first photo is titled "A.P.C. Royal Dublin Fusiliers ~ No. 2 Posting Section"
The group includes civilians (men and women) and some in low rank military uniform.
A second photo taken in the same location is untitled but contains only civilian men and officer-type military men
My grandfather is in both photographs in civilian dress. To my knowledge he had no military connections.
Can anyone suggest the possible context of these photos - images attached
