Forty armed Irish soldiers assembled at a hotel in Dublin to plan the next move in the Irish Army Mutiny. A possible coup d'état against the Irish government was on the table.
Loyal Irish troops surrounded the hotel and there was a standoff. The result was that the young Irish government responded by securing the resignation of Irish Army Council members, along with that of Defense Minister Richard Mulcahy.
The mutiny was of the oldest type, an army rebelling for itself. Mulcahy would go on to a long career in Irish government, including as Minister of Education.
A soldier bonus bill was passed in the US.
St. Mark's is a major downtown church in Casper today.
St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Casper Wyoming
This traditionally styled Episcopal Church includes the office buildings for the church a meeting room, kitchen and a day school, so the interior space used for services is smaller than the large exterior might suggest.
The view featured on the bottom photograph could not be seen until recently, as a large house once stood in what is now an open area. The church is across the street from the former St. Anthony's Catholic School, which has moved to a new location across town. The church was built in 1924.
It's stunning to think it was built for $120,000.
