    Seems to be a mix of Populars and Anglias, or else Anglias of different vintages.

    And a quartet couple of Consuls at the back of the queue en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Consul#Ford_Consul_Mark_II_(1956%E2%80%931962)

    I'm unfamiliar with Cork but that looks like old Ford Factory in the background (& on the far bank of the Lee). So that would make it (unsurprisingly) the goods yard alongside Horgan's Quay

    Streetview from Horgan's Quay across the Lee. The OSI maps show there used to be Travelling Cranes here as seen in the background. The cars are most likely being loaded for transport to Dublin.

    Yep, my grand father talked about the battle of Verdun as something that changed his life. Omar, maybe yours was at Verdun as well, you never know; they could have been buddies in some forsaken trench, ducking from German snippers and waiting for that dreaded whistle to charge ahead only to be met with mustard gas and machine guns.

    My grandfather, (mon grandpere) was a French officer who was raised in Algeria and led French Algerian troops at Verdun. They fought there 3 times.
