Weapon stack! Man, we still do that.

Some things never change

I believe that building is Building #101 which may still be at the Philadelphia Navy Ship Yard. That is where I joined the 3rdBn14thMarines in 1964.Semper Fi

Obviously Limerick had changed a great deal by the time I was growing up in the late '40's and '50's so it is hard to put a location on a road with so little distinguishing features. From my memory this reminds me of the main road out through Corbally towards Co. Clare. This is where I think it is and is near the famous rugby academy "St. Munchins College". The Clare Brigade of the IRA were very active about this time and the area to the north of here was a stronghold of their operations!

Probably tough enough to locate this one. All the candidates on the OSI are main roads which have been widened since, so all the distinguishing features are gone.

Having said that, there's a not dissimilar bit of wall on the R463: www.google.ie/maps/@52.687788,-8.604284,3a,75y,227.18h,90...

That is on the same road as I was suggesting above Lemur and I think we are probably both right as to the road but the exact spot is a lottery! I remember that the stone wall seemed to go on for miles along there and was connected with the bridge across the Shannon nearby!

Thanks! We'll fix the title in the source data and reload the description.
