There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.

First units to arrive in Ireland wore the Kelly's. I believe this is a training picture taken in Ireland.

Well...there are probably a half dozen officers behind the camera and the photog and who knows who else... Someone told him to go lie down in that mudhole and get everything good and covered. Now, stand up and fire from the hip! Now look at the work to do, he started as a poster boy and ended up a sh*thouse rat.

That makes sense as I don't see smoke at the breech (only background) or the brass in the air.

You can even see the smoke at the muzzle. You see the empty at his near elbow...just above and left. Smoke at the breech too...
