    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"

    Oooh, another fire ladder! marked on the 25" as a Fire Escape. Trees now obscure this aspect in streetview
  • Niall McAuley said:
    A set of fire ladders in Kingstown in the archive, and another in Monkstown

    In this Bing bird's eye view, you can see that the long building with a skylight at right is the dead zoo.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Dating detail: swan necked lamp-post at left means after 1901 and tram electrification. No actual light on the lamp-post may mean it is during electrification works.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    (Unlike many other streets, the swan necked lamp posts are still there in streetview).
