  I wonder why there's an American flag up there near the bow.

• Billy Embleton said:

  'Banzai' on turret barbette. Fantastic image.

  Interesting to see the sailing vessels moored beyond. Colliers perhaps?

• Steve Ellwood said:

  This could be any of 3 gates - the Grafton St, Merrion Row and Leeson St. corners. The only surviving one is at Leeson St. (Grafton St. now has Fusilier's Arch, and Merrion Row was altered to stick in the Robert Emmet statue.) Streetview.

• Sharon Corbet said:

  The notes on the photo in the NLI mention the following: "Boat decorated with garlands etc. as part of an annual fund-raising flag day held by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution in Dublin and across the U.K."

• Niall McAuley said:

  Sharon Corbet Robert Emmet? This is Tonehenge! And I think this is the Merrion Row corner, based on the position of that tram wire pole and squinting at the OSI map.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  Thanks Sharon Corbet - I guess we should pay more attention to our own notes :)

• O Mac said:

  Sharon Corbet The tram pole would narrow it down to Merrion Row or Grafton St corner, 25" OSI Stephens Green

WWI Parade - Keene NH

  In the Sunday, July 20, 1919 edition of the Boston Post, the following article appeared: "The first meeting of Gordon-Bissell Post 4, American Legion was held Tuesday night in the new quarters, the Gerould House, which the post has leased on West st., next to the Y.M.C.A. Harry C. Tenney was chosen representative to the State Convention, Aug. 29. The post will assist all ex-service men and women to secure positions. It was announced at the meeting that a whippet tank was expected to be in the Labor Day parade. " Perhaps the tank shown was the one expected for that parade.
