Goodbye to Nova Scotia arch

from Halifax Municipal Archives

  • Aurora Feletti said:
    1951 - Royal visit of then Princess Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II) and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    Aurora Feletti: Based on the other photos in the same collection, this is not likely a picture of the Royal visit in 1951, since the others are all from the 1910s and 1920s, if not earlier. But good thought!
  • James White said:
    Soldiers are marching to board a troopship, likely the OLYMPIC, hence the message on the arch. There was always a big turnout of citizens, families & friends, esp if it was a local regiment.
  • Halifax Municipal Archives said:
    James White Thanks again, James. This does seem likely given the photographs of what was likely the Olympic that are also a part of this album (CR16-115 and CR16-16b).

    Crikey I am ignorant! - didn't even know New Guinea was a German colony.. Wikipedia has all the details - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_New_Guinea#World_War_I .

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] beachcomber australia stop the press! Did some research on T D Cleary and this is what I found. In an exhibition catalogue written by former State Library NSW curator Alan Davies, he writes of a Thomas Cleary, who offered Sam Hood the Dalny Studio at 124 Pitt St in 1918. Though Sam had taken casual photos for the Sydney Mail, Cleary 'had a contract to regularly supply the Melbourne Argus and Australasian with Sydney photographs. Sam continued to fulfil the contract and, each week, from 1918 to 1940, a page of his photographs of sports events, social gatherings and Sydney scenery appeared in the Australasian'!!!!

    The crude sign on the sideboard of the truck nearest seems to say Limerick but I am not familiar with the church. It is not unlike the Dominicans in Dominics Street but there is no steeple on that. It may be out in the county?
