A notation on some copies of this photo reads: "Picture taken in Ireland before these men professed." The dates they entered the work, and the names of the men are printed on some copies of this picture: Gill-1900; 3. George Walker-1899; 4. John Hardy-1900; 5. Wm Ervin (William Irvine) pre-1899; 6.
