    Nope, haven't got a clue;-)

    Swordscookie Well, that's a very direct answer! :)
  • Swordscookie said:
    Unless somebody is very familiar with the view I can't see this being easy. There are no shop names, posters or other manmade evidence to help. The one redeeming feature is that gap in the hills on the other side of town. The steep slope of the hill and the obvious valley in which the town is situated would indicate either a sea or riverside location but that doesn't count for much in a small island like ours.

    I am 99.9% sure that this is Downpatrick, County Down. Looking down English Street, from the hill with the cathedral, past the jail, into the town. The lovely old buildings are still there on the left. The notch on the far hillside is slightly hidden from street view by the present building at the bottom of the street - now the Down Arts Centre .

    Sorry I have to zap off here for a while so I can't do anymore of the investigating :-( But at the bottom of the hill on the left are the offices of the Down Recorder newspaper which was estabished in 1836. What I am not sure of is if the building has been replaced since then (even though I have been in them - they do look old!!)

    Those guns are extremely big, it's crazy how things such as new technology change and progress over time.

    They are big but very good. They were in use a long long time and now we can still use them I think

    Anyone able to place this image better chronologically? I assume if someone has IDed the uniforms of the Sixth Massachusetts, this is from the 1861 90-day unit, before standard-issue Union uniforms?

    In May 1914, Major Edward J. Boughton, Judge Advocate of the Military District of Colorado, was subpoenaed to appear in New York City before the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations, before a committee investigating the Ludlow Massacre. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_Massacre Vancise, Boughton, and Danks coauthored the official report on the massacre, made to the Governor of Colorado.
