          1. ‘The Ridge Waggon Hill. Lady Smith. It was on this slope - behind these boulder rocks - facing towards the monument that the Boers made their attack and held out all day till driven back by the famous charge of the Devons. Had the Devons failed, the Boers would have captured Waggon Hill and Ladysmith must have fallen. It is therefore one of the most classical lots of ground in S. Africa. My friend Captain Walton Natal Carabiniers is shown emerging from behind a rock’.

          1. ‘Capt. Walton Natal Carabiniers. Another view of same position. Our position was on Ridge, behind the monument. The open plateau in between (a couple of hundred yards) separated this contestants and it was across it that the final charge of the Devons was made. This picture shows well the cover the rocks provided for the Boers’.

          An Tóstal - correspondence

          Part of Papers of Fr Joseph Hurley

          Correspondence relating to aspects of hosting An Tóstal exhibition in Tullamore.

          Includes letter from James Ennnis, Country Registrar, Circuit Court Office, Tullamore, (and a member of the organising committee of An Tóstal) to Fr Hurley:

          'Last evening Mrs Ennis was home to see her mother and she got from her a beautiful Land League flag in very good condition. The flag is of green with the slogan 'The Land for the People' on the back. On the front it had a picture of C.S. Parnell & of his home in Avondale. Super-imposed on Parnell's picture is a picture of Daniel O'Connell and presumably C. S. P. was 'effaced' after the Divorce. I have also learned that there is in Killeaveys of William St. a lovely picture of Dr Dunne...Both will be additions to our Museum.'
