Laying of the foundation stone ceremony for the first soldier's War Service home in South Australia, at Castle Avenue, Prospect.

(Denison Miller and John Kirkpatrick were cousins.) People are standing around a small platform, over which flags are flying. The foundation stone is suspended from a chain. There are two other photographs from this ceremony on the Library website: PRG 280/1/15/665 and PRG 280/1/15/503.
South Australian army officers
A group of South Australian army officers. [Identical to photograph at PRG 280/1/3/133]. A group of army officers, including a padre, outside a tent and identified as "Colonel Lee and his staff". Articles relating to this camp can be found in 'The Advertiser' Monday 31 January 1910, page 10, and Tuesday 11 January 1910, page 12, and these identify personnel in the camp. An almost identical photograph (minus the padre) captioned as 'Headquarters Staff' appeared in 'The Observer' Saturday 5 February 1910, page 28. Not all listed in the papers are pictured, but those who have been identified are: Colonel J.H.A. Lee (centre, middle row); Major Walter Dollman (back row, 4th from right); Lt-Colonel W. Ramsay Smith (front row, on left); Major T.H. Smeaton (middle row, on right); R.A. Duncan and R. Duncan (with large cap badges, back row, 2nd from right and front row on right); and Colonel J. Rowell (middle row, 3rd from left). The padre (back row, centre) is Archdeacon Samwell (see 'The Advertiser', Saturday 29 January 1910, page 1). Percy Middleton Wells is Back Row 3rd from the left. A researcher has discovered an error. Lt-Colonel (Dr) William Ramsay Smith is not the person in the front row on the left, but the one in the centre row, from left. (compare the likeness with that in the photograph "Doctor Ramsay Smith attending a Mayor's garden party in Adelaide [PRG 280/1/15/61]")
Government charabanc driving through a country town in South Australia
A bus described by Searcy as a 'government charabanc' packed with passengers driving through the main street of a country town in South Australia; the bus has 'A27' on its number plate. Brothers Felix and Norman Caldwell of Port Adelaide had two 38hp Crossley charabancs. A27 (PRG 280/1/11/204) was a hire car number issued by the Adelaide City Council; the second was A20 (PRG 280/1/11/526). The Caldwells studied engineering at the SA School of Mines, North Terrace, and along with other innovations, they developed a four wheel drive system for heavy vehicles. They went into business with Henry Vale in Sydney who was himself a pioneer motorist, and whose engineering works built steam locomotives. The Caldwell-Vale four wheel drive heavy haulage vehicles were built until 1916. [SOURCE: Veteran Car Club of S.A.]

A bus-load of schoolboys driving across North Terrace, Adelaide
A bus-load of schoolboys waving flags driving across North Terrace in Adelaide on their way to cheer for their school at an outdoor event. A researcher has suggested that the vehicle is probably made by Daimler, due to the distinctive shaped fluted top tank on the radiator, and that the vehicle is better described as a charabanc while the Veran Car Club of S.A. has provided the following information: 'Brothers Felix and Norman Caldwell of Port Adelaide had two 38hp Crossley charabancs. A27 (PRG 280/1/11/204) was a hire car number issued by the Adelaide City Council; the second was A20 (PRG 280/1/11/526).

Five Australian army officers
A group of five Australian army officers photographed at an army camp; they are possibly members of the Medical Corps as indicated by Searcy's comment 'Good sawbones'. According to a researcher, the man standing left rear is Doctor Harry Nott, RMO (who was with the 10th Battalion AIF), with W. R. Cavenagh-Mainwaring to his left (assigned to the 3rd Light Horse). Both units were at the Morphettville Camp in 1914. The man seated in the centre is Frederick Goldsmith, surgeon (also appears in PRG 280/1/26/104). The three seated in the front row are all wearing pre-war peak caps (shiny leather visors) suggesting they are or were in the militia pre-war - so the the other two may have been with Goldsmith in the 3rd Field Ambulance ie Fry and Moodie.
