Great details in the dress and I wonder how many did not come back.

Vab2009 I know! That's always the bitter sweet thing about photos of soldiers...

Has a very good photographic historical archive.

Nice perspective.

Great photo. It gives a really good idea of how people dressed at the time, children, women and men, the detail is so good. It's hard to imagine this is less than 100 yrs ago.

More likely to be Worlledge on the box? I couldn't find any Horlledges on Google, only Worlledges- but not a J.M., unfortunately!

Think The Ship is The Great Southern 01 Almost Positive

There's a Major J.P.G. Worlledge here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MI8 who might fit the bill?

Mike Brilliant if it is Worlledge, but just looked again at ginormous scan of this glass plate and it looks as if it starts with a H (unprompted colleague said the same...).

National Library of Ireland on The Commons If it's an H, then the two uprights ARE parallel to the slope of the rest of the letters in his name- but I think I can make out the faint trace of the first line of a W!? Any mention of Horlledge I have found on Google, is in connection with a mis-spelling or reading of Worlledge.

Respect,.,!!!

is it me or does the river seem high? Also, can anyone verify if the street lanterns on the bridge are the same or have they been replaced with replica's?

Tammy According to this interesting Dublin street lighting site, the gasoliers were "restored" around 1998-2003 - www.archiseek.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=3968

this was before the bridge was widened so the lamps on this side may have been changed.
