From page 268, there are photographs of five "South African War veterans on their day of admission to the Richmond Asylum, Grangegorman, Dublin."
…...Private William McConnell, Royal Dublin Fusiliers.
......Sergeant John Joseph Doherty, Royal Irish Regiment
…...Sergeant Laurence Bradley, Royal Irish Fusiliers
…...Private Patrick Brennan, 4th Connaught Rangers

The Richmond Asylum was a combination of workhouse, hospital, and lunatic asylum.

Right next door the Dublin North Union Workhouse - since demolished but the facing of the Richmond asylum will be incorporated into the new Technology University Dublin under construction. Both grim places.
