Waiting at the barracks door - the Waterford Militia

  As I recall from comments at the image below, the helmet with a ball on top is Artillery. There was an Artillery Barracks in Waterford (now gone) and in this 25" map, I see a passage with steps which matches, at the NE side of the Eastern corner of the barracks buildings, at the spot now occupied by St. Carthage's Avenue.

  This has to before 1922, and probably before 1914, too.

• John A. Coffey said:

  Stripped button down collar shirt, very cool.

• Rory Sherlock said:

  Could they belong to the Royal Munster Fusiliers? The ball-and-flame collar badge on both uniforms is very like that of the RMF (and also like that of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and that of the Grenadier Guards)... They're like the one used by the Royal Artillery too, but they lack the 'UBIQUE' banner at the base.

• Rory Sherlock said:

  No... having looked at the buttons and helmet more closely, they clearly belong to the Royal Artillery

  Given this is labeled as "Tracking with the 90", I have reason to believe that this is actually a photo of the 89th Coast Artillery Regiment, Antiaircraft, Military District of Washington, Eastern Defense Command. This unit trained with both the 40mm Bofors and the 90mm AA gun. This was an experiment in using women as defensive gunners. Reference: THE MILITARY HISTORY OF WASHINGTON IN THE WAR YEARS, 1942 – 1945, by William H. Cartwright, Jr.

  Ken Glaze
  What a fun fact about women serving during WW2. The picture above though is definitely Camp Davis, as noted in the description WASP were sent there to tow targets for the men who were training - Camp Davis was an important antiaircraft training center during World War II.
  
  Here are some additional photos from the same event that show a little more detail and can be traced to WASP history.

  This appears to be a 15-cm heavy field howitzer M 14, which shot a 28-lb. shell with a range of 8,858 yards and required a crew of 8, manufactured in Austria. Muzzle velocity: 1,120 feet-per-second. Elevation: -5 degrees/+70 degrees.
