On this day (December 7), in 1921, the Irish Free State Treaty was signed between Ireland and Britain.
Historic.
The Irish delegation went to England on the Government Ferry at a then exorbitant 1500 guineas. Collins even claimed for ‘moustache wax’.
The delegation includes, seated from left, Sinn Fein founder Arthur Griffith (1871 – 1922), E.J. Duggan, Michael Collins (1890 – 1922) and politician Robert Barton (1881 – 1975). Standing from left are author Robert Erskine Childers (1870 – 1922), lawyer George Gavan Duffy (1882 – 1951), and John Chartres.
