A SOLDIER AND HIS FAMILY

A SOLDIER AND HIS FAMILY
Standing proudly in his Royal Irish Rifles uniform is Robert Woods and seated with a baby is his wife Sarah Jane Woods.
The children are unknown and so is the year.

ARMY CAMP
These brave young unknown men of the Royal Irish Rifles are in a temporary camp on the outskirts of Randalstown during the First World War.
Look at the smiles, the eagerness and excitement on their faces not knowing the horrors that waited for them on the Western Front.
I wonder did any of them come back?

The only lady known is in the middle row and second from the left. Her name is Rachel Woods known to her friends as Rea who later married Dan Lyttle.

All smiles for the camera when out for a walk at Randalstown. On the left we have Granny Woods nee Brown in the Centre Molly Woods and finally Eileen Brown.
Although the sun is shining and the children are in summer clothes
the ladies are wrapped up in their long coats with fur collars.
