Picnic train with open trucks conveying men, women and children to an annual picnic believed to be one being held by the Manchester Unity Lodges at Penrose Park Silverton. According to a researcher, seven years later this same train was attacked by two Turkish patriots. The researcher recalls: 'My Great Aunty was on the train when the "Turks" opened fire, she remembered the event well. She was a primary school child at the time. She remembers seeing "Joe the Ice" and all the kids waving to him in excitement because they thought they were about to get ice-cream. Then she remembers being fired at and everyone getting as low as possible in the train to avoid the bullets. After returning home she remembers her neighbour taking off her hat and finding a bullet hole in it, at which point she fell down in a faint'.
