badges

The quality of these photos always amaze me, when you consider their age.

Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

If that is the Station building in the background, this was taken in or around Abbey Farm. They are all wearing Home Rule badges.

Waterford Beagle Club founded 1927

I don't think it's a hunt, but instead some sort of Home Rule events like a demonstration. The badges (?) say "Home Rule Committee" on them, so I think they are some of the marshals for the parade/demonstration.

Vincent is beginning to age and shows all the hallmarks of prosperity. The ladies all look well turned out, funny that the four aprons and collars are different.

look at that! this is a great portrait, very high quality! interesting remark of mogey, by the way!

Ah when nurses looked like nurses are supposed to look! I have an 1930s Dutch nurses uniform, much like it. My grandmothers wore it as well.

Did the nurses' collar shapes signify anything? (My mother was a nurse; in her era the shape of the nurse's cap reflected where she was trained.)

I see what you mean about the David Suchet/Poirot resemblance, Carol.

Beautiful photograph, perfectly composed. These military boots with straps are very stylish :-)

beautiful

Wonderful image and capture. Have a happy Easter.

I've been scouring Google and Wiki to see if I can get a match on the cap or collar badges to no avail. As each officer was expected to provide himself with a horse it may be that these are infantry officers rather than cavalry. There are two different regiments on display here, the chaps with the boots and jodhpurs have their rank markings on their cuffs while the officer on the right front has his on his epaulette. Looking at the young man at the front and the other at the rere they look so young, their chances if they got to the front were slim to put it mildly.

Swordscookie Five of the men have collar badges of the Royal Artillery, the fact that they are wearing spurs would indicate Field Artillery and not Garrison Artillery. The officer seated on the right might be an infantry officer, possibly a Captain judging by his shoulder badges. Royal Artillery Collar Badge
