Who was manning the road block, I wonder? British or Irish soldiers? They are wearing Pattern 1914 leather webbing, that integrated the Pattern 1908 canvas webbing during the Great War. They are also carrying extra cloth cartridge bandoliers for fast reloading. Leather Pattern 1914 webbing was withdrawn by the Britsih Military in 1921, but no doubt it remained in service longer in other militaries that used Britsh equipment. Here's an interesting website about webbing www.karkeeweb.com/1914main.html

In this 1919 photo, taken in Germany, my great grandfather (to the right) is wearing a Pattern 1908 canvas webbing belt, while his friend to the left has a pattern 1914 leather one. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrick_castelli/5922054314/]
Patrick Castelli said:
I just saw the date the photo was taken on, so these must be British soldiers, and as all canvas Pattern 1908 webbing was reserved for front line troops, that explains the use of leather Pattern 1914!

Patrick Castelli Sorry, Patrick, didn't get to this quickly enough, but sure you answered your own question without me! :) However, it's an interesting point, and made me return to the description above. I had put in "British soldiers", but have now amended it to "British ARMY soldiers". Those individual men could have been Irish, English, Welsh or Scottish...
Patrick Castelli said:
National Library of Ireland on The Commons True, I was wondering that myself, they might even have belonged to locally recruited Irish regiments. Even if I suspect that the British War Office made sure all Irish soldiers were stationed and trained away from Ireland...for obvious reasons!

What colour is that bus???
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley The greenest green ever seen!!
Niall McAuley said:
I remember the late 60s/early 70s, when the buses were cream over blue, like this one:

but I don't remember any petrol green buses like that one!
Swordscookie said:
Niall McAuley Are you showing your age Niall? That was the good old CIE green we all grew up to love and admire! The two young lads in the pinstripe suit jackets is an interesting sight! Not likely to be school blazers as they tended to be solid colours but may be the remains of auld dacency in the form of Confirmation suits being worn out before they grew out if you know what I mean. Kids in 1959 could dress quite formally once they got to 14 or thereabouts. Portobello is just down the road from St. Mary's College and the lads may be from there but never with pin stripe blazers???
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
Niall McAuley And yet there it is, larger than life and twice as green! I wonder is there any way it was a tour bus, rather than a "normal" city bus?

Streetview (-ish) - goo.gl/maps/YKnT8RkQWB22 Inexplicable coincidence - the lad on the left is holding a 'BEAT CLUB' LP vinyl record, and the lock-gate arm they are sitting on now has the graffiti "YUNG KESMO ON A BEAT", which is some sort of musical reference. Is this a musical corner of Dublin? It is a beautiful canal bridge.
National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia That is a coincidence.

The lovely Elinor went back in 1966 - she must have been fond of the bridge and who would blame her? See comments etc. ...
