Lovely shot of the cavalry getting ready. Interesting barrack buildings in the background, all much the same as those in such places as Birr, Templemore etc. except that the space above the archway is not built up and the clock is not mounted on the tower of the cupola.

Thats a great picture - some equipment each cavalry trooper had. Hope the clock was working!!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockface] Well, like Rupert Brooke's poem, The Old Vicarage, Grantchester where the question is asked: "Stands the Church clock at ten to three?" - in this photo, it'll always be a case of "Stands the Barracks clock at eleven twenty?"...

Can you spot the officers - they seem to have different tunics. Spotted this image of todays cavalry!

RG_IV12 A lot more "horse power" in your photo, methinks!

Wynona Beville (1923-2014) shown here at age 24, "came from a family of pioneer Florida ranchers".  She married Harvey N. ''Red'' Martin (1924-2003) c.1951.  She was an owner and operator of Little H Cattle Company, Aliceville, Alabama. [1] [2] [3]

Certainly a lovely woman RIP

"Known as ‘Dr Tim’, O’Leary was a highly competent doctor, especially skilled in obstetrics. He empathised with his patients, who appreciated his sense of humour as well as his diligence in caring for them. Red-headed and voluble, he had a fiery temper that upset some people. He was keen on horses and riding and at one time held an amateur jockey’s licence. Survived by his wife and their daughter and three sons, he died of chronic lymphatic leukaemia on 20 July 1987 at Runaway Bay and was buried in Allambie Garden of Memories cemetery, Nerang. Two memoirs, North and Aloft and Western Wings of Care, edited by John Pearn and Graham Anderson, were published in 1988." Source: adb.anu.edu.au/biography/oleary-timothy-joseph-tim-15407

The horses seem to be watching in sympathy.
