That's Newbridge station between Kildare and Sallins, looking eastwards. Interesting photo, the buildings haven't changed that much.

Ciarán Cooney Aha, so that's why I was having difficulty finding "Kilbride" station! It really hasn't changed. So used it be called Kilbride??

I was looking at the location and trying to think when I ever saw a railway line near Kilbride. I may be mistaken but I don't think there ever was one???? Doesn't matter anyway that is a good shot of Newbridge and it looked like that any time I passed through it.

Swordscookie And don't suppose you know where the barracks was? (Link above)
Ciarán Cooney said:
I've always known it to be Newbridge, I checked wiki history and there's no mention of Kilbride, but I don't know! There's the large barracks in Newbridge town, which I presume the soldiers are coming from. This is roughly the site of barracks today.

Lovely shot of the cavalry getting ready. Interesting barrack buildings in the background, all much the same as those in such places as Birr, Templemore etc. except that the space above the archway is not built up and the clock is not mounted on the tower of the cupola.

Thats a great picture - some equipment each cavalry trooper had. Hope the clock was working!!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockface] Well, like Rupert Brooke's poem, The Old Vicarage, Grantchester where the question is asked: "Stands the Church clock at ten to three?" - in this photo, it'll always be a case of "Stands the Barracks clock at eleven twenty?"...

Can you spot the officers - they seem to have different tunics. Spotted this image of todays cavalry!
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
RG_IV12 A lot more "horse power" in your photo, methinks!

several of them are wearing wrist watches, it's the first time I have seen watches being worn in these period pictures ?

Foxglove Only one other that I remember, but then Waterford people were always ahead of their "time"...

Definitely colonials, Oz, could be Field Artillery Brigade (FAB).
Carol Maddock said:
Suck Diesel I think you're right about Australia / New Zealand. It's the slouch hats...

I think the lapel badges are that of the Australian Commonwealth Military Forces.
