    You've the location almost right, I reckon it might have been taken in this building.

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Ciarán Cooney Great! Reckon we might leave it where it is then rather than shuffling it left a bit, right a bit...

    Nice Photo during my early High School Days. Nice looking Gentleman. I have worked in Warehouses in my past in my Land, but I know that RR work is really a hard job - - -

Dining Room, Elise Sandes Soldiers Home, Curragh Camp

    Funnily enough a quieter room than the reading room. The prices are almost certainly in £sd and d's rather than s's in an army mess. These would probably have been snacks and optional extras as the soldiers would have been on rations which they would have eaten in one of the dining rooms in the Curragh Camp. No mention of time NLI or did the clock escape your eagle eye on this occasion??? 14,00 hours I make it? What is the dapper civilian doing in the other ranks coffee room?
  • Stuart said:
    Those prices would be in pence, as in £-s-d. Presumably, the cost of eating in their canteen was subsidised?
  • philip ward said:
    From my days in uniform I remember there was all ways somewhere other ranks could purchase extra food , drinks/tobacoo products etc. after their daily duties,usually subsidised.So I bet those prices are in pence. The 16th July 1916 being a Sunday would explain why these privates are present in the middle of the afternoon.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Swordscookie Did spot the time, but didn't want to inflict my obsession on ye all! :D
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    philip ward Thanks for reminding me about the Sunday thing. I've decided from now on to always add the day of the week to the Date part of each photo's description, and to tag the day as well. (Will have to do some retrofitting!) That way we can all search for photos on here by day as well as date, and who knows, the data could be useful...

    It was a british plane going by the partial registration, the plane itself looks a little rough around the edges. great picture!
  • XPAT-Polska said:
    That was indeed a brave mission.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Brian Mulligan Yes, a British plane. Apparently McIntosh had financial backing from William B. Leeds (American millionaire). McIntosh flew over to Baldonnel from England at the end of August. He and Fitzmaurice worked on the plane, had test flights and basically waited for good weather...
  • guliolopez said:
    Brian Mulligan Was indeed a GB registered plane. Full rego was G-EBTS. Seemingly it was later involved in another record attempt to India.
  • instinctive mind said:
    Nice photo. Three handsome gentlemen. They were brave for trying.
