    Saint Thomas Church, located at the corner of 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York in the United States, is an Episcopal parish church of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. It is also known as Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue or as Saint Thomas Church in the City of New York and was incorporated on January 9, 1824. The current structure, completed in 1914, is the fourth church built to house this congregation and was designed by the architects Ralph Adams Cram and Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue in the French High Gothic style.

    Is that a hearse, surely not?

    There is no shortage of press accounts of miltary reviews in Phoenix Park in the early years of the 20th century, for example to celebrate the King's birthday every June. Another which caught my eye (and it's a long shot) was the review of Nationalist Volunteers on Sunday 4th April 1915 (reported next day in the Dublin Daily Express).
    Yesterday a review of the Nationalist Volunteers was held at the Phoenix Park. The event attracted a big gathering. Excursion trains were run from many parts of Ireland. From the South and West there were particularly strong contingents.
    and
    There was an abundance of green flags, though no Union Jack was to seen.
    and
    The weather was ideal for such a display and there seemed to be nothing lacking in point of numbers. In other respects, too, contingents appeared quite to the mark.
    The officer on the white horse appears (to me at least) to have a beard. From investigations several years ago I know that beards were not allowed in the British Army (except in the Pioneers), so if (big if) these were Volunteers (and if it's a beard) then perhaps the rules didn't apply to them. [Volunteers in and before WW 1 were not people who joined up of their own free will, but equivalent to the modern Territorials, i.e. part-time solders. e.g. my grandfather failed his WW1 medical, but joined the local Volunteers] On the other hand, these look too disciplined and well-drilled to match what I imagine Volunteers to look like, and
    But few lost sight of the fact that many of the Volunteers were dressed not in military garb but in the rough clothes of the country
    and a can't see any sign of rough clothes, although it's possible the photographer chose to record for posterity a part of the parade where only military garb was on view.

    Suck Diesel I don’t think so.
  • John Spooner said:
    Suck Diesel A couple of the officers appear to be looking at it asking themselves the same question, but the privates know that they have to look straight ahead until the saluting base where the general(s) stood. (Is my interpretation)

    Was it this gathering of Redmond’s Volunteers in April 1915? www.rte.ie/centuryireland/index.php/articles/200000-peopl...

    It is so wonderful to have this stream back and to have received such a warm welcome from so many old friends! I am sure that Carol will be delighted! I had to post this one early as I have an important appointment tomorrow so please forgive me if you were beaten to the punch on Friday morning:-)
  • Dora Meulman said:
    It's so good to see you back on flickr and what a brilliant old photo of Patrick's Street. I love it. :-))
  • ccferrie said:
    Terence McSwiney perhaps? "his funeral in Cork on 31st October 1920 attracted huge crowds"
  • ccferrie said:
    Scratch that - there's a video of McSwiney's funeral here www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU16rhRHP7M and the crowds are much bigger and the hearse more elaborately decorated
