I don't want no more of army life...

The two photographs in this page of the Ternan album are of scenes from a military facility with huts, soldiers and a "Post Office" / recreation room with decorations. The album, however, has some very different images that make it well worth a browse through. Is the scene where the ~~party~~ platoon of soldiers are marching between huts of the British ~~or Free State~~ army? The cap badges are a bit washed out but ~~seem to be those of Oglaigh na hÉireann~~ hopefully we can identify the regiment!

The caption is a reminder of the WW2 song "They say that in the army"...

Photographer: Perhaps a member of the Ternan family
