    Nice photo. Before I was born & not being Irish- I also don't know what the Hell they were doing, but it seems that it interested many people back then - - -

    Barton was the name of Erskine Childers mother and they were part of the Barton and Guestier wine growing and shipping company. The original Barton was Thomas - is it possible that the two are related. I tried to google the name but did not do too well. It does appear that the Childers family had strong connections to Waterford.

    Swordscookie Well, keep at it! ;) No T. Barton in Waterford in either 1901 or 1911 census...

    Swordscookie Re Barton and Childers, see our OTHER Flickr photostream (that's swanky for you)!

    It may be a red herring, but a "Bovril boat" was a boat used in London to carry sewage out to sea ([en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovril_Boats]). The small boats in the foreground don't seem to match the description, but perhaps the larger ones in the background do.

    "looking like paddy's market" was a phrase my mum used to describe any thing that was untidy (like my bedroom) :-) I spotted the Antrim Glen photo immediately - I have one taken from a nearby location from 2006 - little change - the hills have not moved but the farmland/field layout is different
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Foxglove I hear you! Our house was broken into once and the Guards were wondering why the burglars had so thoroughly torn one of the bedrooms apart - mine! My mother was so ashamed admitting that it had looked that way before the burglary... :D (have since improved)

  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    TJ Ooooh, that's a good one! Definitely occasions when the work desk hides the odd dromedary or two.

    i think victoran47 you are missing the point... the photogs aren't interested in having their photos critiqued... since they are long dead... this is what their war looked like...
  • Gypsy Photography Solutions said:
    This is what war looks like laying in the grass looking over your rifle, waiting for the clear to advance. Its honestly an amazing shot, iam sure for those what might remember it looks exactly like it.

    —Photo caption from AWM: "Canadians advance south of the railway. Canadian skirmishers with a tank of the 13th Tank Battalion attacking a machine gun post, which was on the north side of the railway hedge, in front of the Australian sector of the line. Some difficulty was experienced in obtaining this photograph as the men were at the time under heavy fire from machine guns from the trees on the skyline in the distance on the right. Seen in the centre, Lieutenant (Lt) Hall and Lt Payne routing out an enemy machine gun post. "Taken August 10, 1918, at Picardie, Somme, Lihons, France."
