Soldiers relaxing in the barracks, Bells Paddock, Enoggera training camp, 1916

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Enoggera Barracks (also known as Gallipoli Barracks) is an Australian Army base in the northwestern Brisbane suburb of Enoggera in Queensland. It was officially established in the early 20th century when the area was used for field training, although the area was used by military units as far back as the mid-19th century. Since then it has been developed into a modern military base, which is now home to units of the 7th and 11th Brigades as well as the headquarters of the 1st Division and the 16th Aviation Brigade.

Beerdigung

    Ein tolles Bild. Hier sieht man, wie groß die Anteilnahme bei einer Bestattung sein kann. In unserem Dorf ist das ähnlich. Jeder kennt Jeden und falls jemand stirbt nehmen alle Abschied. Ich finde das toll und sehr respektvoll. www.bestattung-bauer.de/
  • Oscal Albrecht said:
    Danke für die alte Karte der Bestattung. Wahnsinn, dass diese über 100 Jahre alt ist. Ich finde die Idee von solchen Karten zur Bestattung aber auch noch für heute gut und passend. www.trauerpark.de/bestattungen/

    Well they pose like Americans! And they look like their swank! But those are typical Irish names are they not? So there's a case their ancestors emigrated to the states not so long ago that the've still connections back home. So the photo could be from France with them back from the front line waiting to be sent to action. There might also be a possibility band members being allocated to act in the medic/ambulance role. If it is taken in Ireland I guess the're either to or from France. The're might be a case for using Cobh or Derry port rather than sending a troopship closer to the u-boats than necessary. All speculation. Any clues on the back?

    Notes in the catalogue say Blank Postcard

    Deirge Del Deirge, you say Doheny is typically Irish, yet there are only 10 Dohneys in the 1901 census and 5 in the 1911 census. Perhaps at the time of this postcard there were more Dohneys in the USA than Ireland? Niall McAuley
  • Deirge Del said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons I'm only a guessing Doheny looks like it might be an Irish surname, it sort of rolls off the tongue. A possibly more fruitful approach might be searching American serviceman records but that's not my area of expertise, I don't have a clue where to start or find the relevant database, or how to get access. For the UK www.archives.gov/research/genealogy/wwi would be a start point ... I don't know the US equivalent though I see a few wanting my dollars.

    314 Dohenys, in 1911, a more common spelling/version of the name in Ireland.
