“This is a photo of my Granny Teresa Byrne nee Wall on the right of the photo her brother Peter and her sister Maura. The photo was taken about 1938. Peter was a jocky and may have been home for a holiday as he had gone to the USA when he was 18 and after a few years returned home and went on to the UK to continue his racing career. It was said that he had broken every bone in his body at some stage or another, looks like he was nursing another broken arm in this photo. Love the style in the photo and its great to see Dublin at the time. ”

(1938)
