    This looks like the junction of The Quay and Charles Street.

    Googling: The JFK Dunbrody festival seems to be held every July. JFK visited in 1963, and The Dunbrody is a replica famine ship. I don't know what the New Ross summer festival was called in 1972, but something with JFK in the name is a good bet!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Indeed, if you go to that google maps link above and turn around, you'll see the statue of JFK unveiled by his sister in 2008!

    Pity the shot wasn't taken when the big drum was in view as the name of the band is traditionally put up on that! A Scottish band is unlikely and the one thing I can say categorically is that it was not the Limerick Pipe band as their kilts were traditional Irish saffron! The New Ross Pipe Band was formed in 1974 so it ain't them either.

    Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Krupp_von_Bohlen_und_Halbach
    Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was born Gustav von Bohlen und Halbach. He married Bertha Krupp in October 1906. He lead Krupp heavy industries until early WWII, Read the Arms of Krupp for an extensive history of the family and company.

    Two interesting things about his name. Firstly, Krupp, although more important in the economic sense, is first, because the highest title name generally goes last, in this case the noble "von". Second, the Kaiser announced at the wedding he would be allowed to add the Krupp name to his own, indicating the prominence the Krupp name had achieved already.

    The Krupp family, including Gustav & Bertha, was the subject of a 2009 miniseries on German TV, "Krupp, a German Family."

    Von Bohlen was a diplomat before the Kaiser arranged that he marry Bertha and take control of the company (which celebrates its 200th anniversary in 2012). www.deutsche-gesellschaft-fuer-ordenskunde.de/vereinsmaga... has an article (in German) that focuses on his many decorations and a piece of jewellery made of miniatures of the medals. It includes a 1910 picture of him in the dress uniform of the "Leib-
    Garde-Husaren-Regiments" -- Lifeguard Hussars. This is probably the regimental headgear of the same regiment.

    Thanks for sending us the matching postcard image to the Bain photograph. We are finding that many of the Bain images of royalty were copied from postcards like this one. Often the Bain images are cropped, so it is always good to see the original image with its additional caption and details.
