[Leica] IMG: Kilkenny

[Douglas Barry]

Nathan, it's nearly 40 years since I spent a night in Kilkenny and there 
seems to have been a few changes, including that memorial to the Irish 
men who fought for the British in WW1. Many of them kept their heads 
down post independence, but 100 years on, it is finally being 
acknowledged. My mother's dad also fought for the British in Salonika, 
Greece, and survived, although he came down with malaria and was 
eventually invalided home. Ironically, he was then recruited into 
Michael Collins's "Squad" as a spy in Dublin Castle and wound up 
fighting the British himself.

I stayed 3 nights in Kilkea Castle, a medieval castle now a hotel and golf resort, and spend a day touring the nearest bigger town, Kilkenny. Lots of traditional Irish images here, perhaps a bit touristy, but that is what it was. Have a look here:
