    The seemingly near new FX Holden would date this to 1948-1950 period.

    beachcomber australia Ah, bound to happen, sorry! If it makes any difference this is a much larger version than the other one. Bankstown Babyboomer Thanks, on the other version a comment suggests roughly the same date range, going by the car. AB.
  • GrenadierGuardsDmr said:
    The Holden has a "T" number plate, so must be a taxi.

    Lets take a photo on the same spot when the State Government puts them back again?

    Boo Hoo! The 1879 gate-lodge to the Botanic Gardens was put on the compost heap in 1965 - www.archiseek.com

    and that wonderful gate lodge building complete with clock tower was demolished by the council just to make way for road widening, vandalism of the highest order

    Where the lady in white is walking. The current buisiness - Maggie May's is a nice place for food if you're ever around Botanics or Ulster Museum.

Step out of the car please, Sir

    Who was manning the road block, I wonder? British or Irish soldiers? They are wearing Pattern 1914 leather webbing, that integrated the Pattern 1908 canvas webbing during the Great War. They are also carrying extra cloth cartridge bandoliers for fast reloading. Leather Pattern 1914 webbing was withdrawn by the Britsih Military in 1921, but no doubt it remained in service longer in other militaries that used Britsh equipment. Here's an interesting website about webbing www.karkeeweb.com/1914main.html

    In this 1919 photo, taken in Germany, my great grandfather (to the right) is wearing a Pattern 1908 canvas webbing belt, while his friend to the left has a pattern 1914 leather one. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrick_castelli/5922054314/]
  • Patrick Castelli said:
    I just saw the date the photo was taken on, so these must be British soldiers, and as all canvas Pattern 1908 webbing was reserved for front line troops, that explains the use of leather Pattern 1914!

    Patrick Castelli Sorry, Patrick, didn't get to this quickly enough, but sure you answered your own question without me! :) However, it's an interesting point, and made me return to the description above. I had put in "British soldiers", but have now amended it to "British ARMY soldiers". Those individual men could have been Irish, English, Welsh or Scottish...
  • Patrick Castelli said:
    National Library of Ireland on The Commons True, I was wondering that myself, they might even have belonged to locally recruited Irish regiments. Even if I suspect that the British War Office made sure all Irish soldiers were stationed and trained away from Ireland...for obvious reasons!
