Princess Clotilde and baby (probably Napolèon Victor Bonaparte, born 1862)

  • Camilo Cifuentes said:
    wow, amazing
  • MyLiliesMyLo said:
    I can imagine her saying, tonelessly, "There, there, child." or something equally unemotional.

Chas. Parnell (LOC)

  • Dave Miller said:
    Although he died in 1891, I'm pretty sure this is the Irish patriot, Charles Parnell.
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks Dave Miller, I believe you are correct. Bain scratched a date in the side of the negative, 1/4/22. Perhaps someone in 1922 wanted to do a news story on the history of the Irish home rule debate and needed a photo of Parnell.

Légion Irlandaise - Empire Francais. Badge of the Irish

  • derangedlemur said:
    The roundy yoke is a bit of cavalry armour (or derived from it, anyway - it's a gorget), and the horn suggests scouts, huntsmen or the postal service.
  • Paul O'Farrell said:
    I believe This belt plate and gorget are still in the National Museum, rare pieces indeed I would say.
  • Paul O'Farrell said:
    This is a nice piece on the Legion Irlandaise, militaryheritage.com/irish.htm
  • Mike said:
    The story goes that the King of France found the Irish brigade very unruly with their drinking and fighting. He complained to their commanding office by saying " the Irish troops are more troublesome than the rest of the French army"
  • Mike said:
    The reply from the commanding office was " yes your majesty, the enemy say the same"
