    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.
  • Acrid Home said:
    Thats a great picture - some equipment each cavalry trooper had. Hope the clock was working!!
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    [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?"...

    Most likely Eleanor M. Cochrane, the wife of Richard Sears. Both are sports people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Sears_(tennis)

    An article with photo about her is in The Spokane press., April 08, 1910, Page 3. Because it is reported that among the letters she received were several marriage proposals, I think she was not married. Another photo of her (on a horse) is in the Evening public ledger., September 22, 1920, SPORTS EXTRA, Image 30. In the text she is described as well-known society girl of Boston.

    "Eleonora Randolph Sears (September 28, 1881, Boston – March 16, 1968 Palm Beach) was an American tennis player of the interwar period. In addition, she was a champion squash player, and prominent in other sports; she's considered one of the leading all-round women athletes of the first half of the 20th century. ... Sears was the daughter of Boston businessman Frederick Richard Sears, a cousin of Henry Cabot Lodge, and a great-granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleonora_Sears

    The picture on the right is embossed by the same photographer as this one, Harold A. Taylor, Coronado, and Ms. Sears is wearing the same clothes.

    Looks like this may have been taken in Coronado, California on March 3, 1915, during polo matches there. A contemporary account mentions all the women in the group picture:
    "In the ladies' game Miss Eleonora R . Sears, of Boston, and Mrs.
    C. C. Rumsey, formerly Miss Mary Harriman, daughter of the late
    railroad magnate, E . H . Harriman, appeared on one side . On the
    other were Miss Kathryn Steele, of New York, sister of Mrs . Devereux
    Milburn, and Miss Louise Fleischmann, niece of Colonel Max Fleischmann,
    captain of the Cincinnati polo team. Miss Sears ' side won
    by a score of 3 goals to 2 goals, the winning goal being registered by
    herself in the last few minutes of play.
    The teams in the round-robin were nominated by Mrs . Devereux
    Milburn, Mrs . J. Watson Webb, Mrs. C . C. Rumsey and Mrs . Max
    Fleischmann . Mrs. Rumsey's team won the match, and C . Perry
    Beadleston, a member of her team, made the highest individual score
    with 6 goals . "

    Here are some accounts of Sears at polo pony races at the Coronado Country Club in 1912: "Miss Eleonora Sears, the athletic "bachelor maid" of Boston, rode Joe Ross to victory in a quarter-mile dash on the Coronado track to-day."

    Another account describes how she raced in men's attire while her opponent wore a riding skirt.
