This is the handwritten details of the armoured car used at the funeral of the McMahon murders 24th March 1922 photo passing Broadway/ St Paul's church Falls Road. 

This early and very rare photograph was taken and developed by Brian Nolan, son of Willie John Nolan under extreme circumstances. It was developed in No 3 Willowbank Huts his home close to the Dunngannon clubrooms. There is a large collection of Willowbank negatives in the Joe Nolan archives which are slowly being released.


This is an official photograph of the same armoured car, taken from the Belfast Telegraph sourced from Jonathon Barden's book.
