Former politicians in Northern Ireland?
« on: Saturday 30 November 13 17:54 GMT (UK) »
I am attaching a photo, reportedly taken in Newry in the 1920s or 1930s. Can anyone identify the people in the photo? I am told one of them may be James Crag PM for Northern Ireland until 1940.

That certainly looks like James Craig:

Added: There is a reference on the internet to an official visit to Newry in 1926.
