    Its amazing the sheer depth and quality in this photo and a lot of the collection. You should all be very proud getting this on to the net, and more so for being net-savvy enough to use flickr as well as your own site.

    I am from the Chattanooga area, and this place still exists, although I am sure it's under a different name. It is cool to see something like this and know EXACTLY where it took place!

    As I recall from comments at the image below, the helmet with a ball on top is Artillery. There was an Artillery Barracks in Waterford (now gone) and in this 25" map, I see a passage with steps which matches, at the NE side of the Eastern corner of the barracks buildings, at the spot now occupied by St. Carthage's Avenue.

    E.F. Fraser? = Edward Francis Frazer!

    This has to before 1922, and probably before 1914, too.

    Stripped button down collar shirt, very cool.
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    Could they belong to the Royal Munster Fusiliers? The ball-and-flame collar badge on both uniforms is very like that of the RMF (and also like that of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and that of the Grenadier Guards)... They're like the one used by the Royal Artillery too, but they lack the 'UBIQUE' banner at the base.
  • Rory Sherlock said:
    No... having looked at the buttons and helmet more closely, they clearly belong to the Royal Artillery

    there is a cat and it could be a dog in the distance. memories as a child of this style of military patrolling (NI) when half of the troops would split walking backwards.
  • Carol Maddock said:
    Foxglove I'm probably lucky. Never saw that (NI) patrolling in person, just on television.
  • John Spooner said:
    Foxglove Carol Maddock One of my memories of cycling through Newry (on my way from Rosslare to Larne) some time in the early 1990s was of 4 soldiers escorting a policemen on his beat. There were 2 on each side of the road, ahead and behind the policeman, looking around them and moving from doorway to doorway. What struck me most was that the locals (including the policeman) were going about their business as if the soldiers weren't there. I suppose that for them it was just part of everyday life.
