    Who was manning the road block, I wonder? British or Irish soldiers? They are wearing Pattern 1914 leather webbing, that integrated the Pattern 1908 canvas webbing during the Great War. They are also carrying extra cloth cartridge bandoliers for fast reloading. Leather Pattern 1914 webbing was withdrawn by the Britsih Military in 1921, but no doubt it remained in service longer in other militaries that used Britsh equipment. Here's an interesting website about webbing www.karkeeweb.com/1914main.html

    In this 1919 photo, taken in Germany, my great grandfather (to the right) is wearing a Pattern 1908 canvas webbing belt, while his friend to the left has a pattern 1914 leather one. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrick_castelli/5922054314/]

    I just saw the date the photo was taken on, so these must be British soldiers, and as all canvas Pattern 1908 webbing was reserved for front line troops, that explains the use of leather Pattern 1914!

    Patrick Castelli Sorry, Patrick, didn't get to this quickly enough, but sure you answered your own question without me! :) However, it's an interesting point, and made me return to the description above. I had put in "British soldiers", but have now amended it to "British ARMY soldiers". Those individual men could have been Irish, English, Welsh or Scottish...
  • Patrick Castelli said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons True, I was wondering that myself, they might even have belonged to locally recruited Irish regiments. Even if I suspect that the British War Office made sure all Irish soldiers were stationed and trained away from Ireland...for obvious reasons!

A Shower Bath apparently!

    Henry O’Connell Hackett was mayor of Clonmel for a time. Seems likely this was in Tipp somewhere...

Julio Corral, Madero's lieutenant. (LOC)

  • BobMeade said:
    Madero may be Francisco I. Madero, President of Mexico.
  • Armando Moncada said:
    Sorry, LOC poster, but this fellow wasn´t a "bandolier" or a "bandolera" as you tagged it. He was an armed political disident, a rebel, a guerrillero, which is different.

    ¿Era Julio Corral cuñado de Villa, hermano de Luz Corral? Dr. Roberto Duarte

    He seems to be standing in front of the porch of Bustillos Hacienda. Doesn´t he?
