The old Brit-style tin hats! I'm surprised they are not carrying Gas Traps... I'll bet somebody in that formation has one.
I'd love to see the Quartermaster's list of serial numbers for the group...
The sentry is with overcoat and winter style rubber boots, two kids barefoot...hmm.
Times were really tough in post-depression Ireland. Shoes were for school and Mass on Sunday for a lot of kids including some of my not to distant cousins.
Still wearing black ties... must be early 1942.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the same bloke in all the pictures?
He looks familiar. Wasn't he a Hollywood actor before or after the war - late 1930s to the early 1950s?
