    looking at the original photo size he appears to be attempting to grow a mousetache (not very successfully)

    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.

    Crown Prince William of Germany was appointed colonel-in-chief of the English 11th Hussars in 1911. See www.nam.ac.uk/research/famous-units/11th-hussars-prince-a...

    There had been an earlier 1st Hussars regiment in the King's German Legion of the British Army during the Napoleonic War, but I haven't found a 1st Hussars. Perhaps the postcard caption has a typo.

    shows this picture under the title "11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars" and has a note, "The postcard wrongly states that he's in the uniform of the "1st Hussars". "
