    More likely to be Worlledge on the box? I couldn't find any Horlledges on Google, only Worlledges- but not a J.M., unfortunately!

  • Mike said:
    There's a Major J.P.G. Worlledge here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MI8 who might fit the bill?
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Mike Brilliant if it is Worlledge, but just looked again at ginormous scan of this glass plate and it looks as if it starts with a H (unprompted colleague said the same...).
  • Mike said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons If it's an H, then the two uprights ARE parallel to the slope of the rest of the letters in his name- but I think I can make out the faint trace of the first line of a W!? Any mention of Horlledge I have found on Google, is in connection with a mis-spelling or reading of Worlledge.

    Great details in the dress and I wonder how many did not come back.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Vab2009 I know! That's always the bitter sweet thing about photos of soldiers...
  • George Tsilepidis said:
    Has a very good photographic historical archive.
  • Michael.Stanley said:
    Nice perspective.
  • known order said:
    Great photo. It gives a really good idea of how people dressed at the time, children, women and men, the detail is so good. It's hard to imagine this is less than 100 yrs ago.

    As a Glaswegian living in Ireland I'd love to know why there was a need for a passenger service from Waterford to Glasgow. Was it trade or emigration (quite a circuitous way to get to the UK though)
  • derangedlemur said:
    Before the railways were built that would have been the fastest way to get from the south coast to Scotland. I wouldn't have thought they'd have got much custom in 1910 though.
  • Cuddly Nutter said:
    One thing Glassgow would have had in 1910 that perhaps Waterford and the surrounding areas wouldn't have had was jobs !! And as derangedlemur said the sea route would have been the fastest way for the men to get there and back to their families.

    Gorgeous Clyde Shipping Co. poster from ofarrl's photostream...

    Cuddly Nutter Mind you, this bunch are all kitted out in tweeds as if they're going shooting or golfing (or both). It doesn't look like either working in the mill clothes or sunday best.
