Hello - I have a picture of a man who I think is my grandfather, but it could be his brother, in an army uniform. I do not know who the woman is, but it could be a sister. I have a good amount of information on my grandfather Vincent Bernard Reilly (Reilly on his 1902 baptism certificate, O'Reilly on his 1925 Irish Passport) from Mullagh in County Cavan. I know little about, and never actually met, his brother, Gerald O'Reilly, born 1900. Vincent emigrated to Philadelphia in October 1925 and Gerald in May of 1926. Any help is appreciated. I know nothing about the picture and am awaiting word on whether I can get the original to potentially ascertain the origin, perhaps with additional info on the reverse. Thank you!

Welcome to IrelandXO Michael!
The best way to get more eyeballs on this photo is to creat an Ancestor Profile and attach it to CAVAN (so that all county members will get an email notification) here. You can also select "military ancestors" in the dropdown at the enod of the profile setup form.
Also post this query to your local volunter board here: https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland/cavan/mullagh-cavan
Hope this helps!
