    Strange to see men using umbrellas as sun shades.
  • pennylrichardsca (now at ipernity) said:
    True, but it's also a bit strange to see men in suits and ties visiting Gettysburg in July. They must have been roasting.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Anne (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan: Thanks for noticing the date on the neg. We'll add it to the description next time we update.

    There is definitely a rope in the next picture. If you look at the larger version of it you can see someone's hand resting on it. Perhaps the line here really is a rope.

    The man holding the flag is Giles Coons, my Great Great Grandfather John Rockwell's (pictured behind him to the right in the white shirt) wife's brother. This is the 106th.

    Am I seeing electric lamps? See note.
  • CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY said:
    "No dogs will dine here by God!" Or, do you mean, no dogs on the menu, here? Or, were you referring to English?
  • oaktree_brian_1976 said:
    Large British flag with a crest in the middle of it, other one looks like a variation on the Red Ensign along the left wall. Flag from a unit at Waterloo? See on the left of these flags www.warflag.com/napflags/flaghtml/britKGL.htm
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY - I think Morning Mary was referring to the likelihood that the usual morning past-time (the dog hunt) would be fruitless today. (At least, as you say, if we didn't include any mystery meat from the menu...) Niall McAuley - Thanks for the "today" shot. I wonder where all the weapons went.... oaktree_brian_1976 - Any flags that you can see that might help refine the date range a little? Though maybe beachcomber australia is onto something with the lighting...
