Clontarf, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clontarf is a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, situated on the southern end of the Northern Beaches.
The son of Queen Victoria, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh visited Clontarf in 1868 when he was was shot in the back by an Irishman, Henry James O'Farrell. Alfred was ingloriously saved because the bullet struck him at a point where his India-rubber braces (suspenders to Americans) holding his trousers up crossed over. The bullet was deflected around his rib-cage and did no major harm.
