Sepoy Posted 7 February , 2015 Share Posted 7 February , 2015 They look like Royal Fusiliers. The 1st Battalion, Royal Fusiliers were in Ireland during August, 1914 but were down south at Kinsale, Co Cork! Sepoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnboy Posted 7 February , 2015 Share Posted 7 February , 2015 Certainly looks like RF cap badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corisande Posted 7 February , 2015 Share Posted 7 February , 2015 Putting a different question, are you sure it is Belfast ? Can you identify the building that they are passing, which is very distinctive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenBanna Posted 7 February , 2015 Author Share Posted 7 February , 2015 Donegall Square South. The City Centre. Next to City Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 7 February , 2015 Share Posted 7 February , 2015 Do you know the occasion? The corps of drums at least seem to have slung rifles. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlenBanna Posted 7 February , 2015 Author Share Posted 7 February , 2015 No sorry. No other information. What would be the significance of the slung rifles. Could they be leaving Belfast to join other members of the batallion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could they be leaving Belfast to join other members of the batallion? I don't know, but it did look a little unusual to me. It looks to me as if some at least of the men further down the column also have slung rifles. R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anneca Posted 8 February , 2015 Share Posted 8 February , 2015 I reckon Glen is correct with Donegall Square South as the street name in the photograph looks like Adelaide Street running south from City Hall. Anne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 8 February , 2015 Share Posted 8 February , 2015 A superb photo of the Corps of drums, and including what I take to be two tenor drums on the flanks, a little unusual but not unique. A very fine body of men, just look at the step, and the smartness of every uniform and boot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
