Harvey Lovely
Harvey Lovely aged 15 years old, dressed as a Man of War. According to a researcher, Harvey Lovely was born William Harvey Chapman Lovely on 13 June 1872 in Adelaide, to father James Chapman Lovely and mother Annie Elizabeth Cowie. His father lived at Semaphore and was an Engineer/Surveyor, in partnership with George Dutton Green (of Green & Co). Harvey's father was involved in Local Government in the Le Fevre Peninsula, at one point chairman of the Le Fevre Peninsula District Council and later, serving as Councillor and at one point becoming Mayor of Semaphore. Harvey and his brothers were also involved (as was their father) with the Rifle Volunteer Force. When this photo was taken, Harvey was still at school, possibly attending St Alfred's College (where he boarded). [Source: Susann Green, nee Lovely, Harvey's granddaughter circa 2017]
Photograph album of the Ive and Bagot families
Photograph album thought to have been compiled by Eileen Dubois Ive (later Mrs John Frederick Bagot) daughter of Charles William Ive and Agnes Dubois. The album contains photographs of many family members and friends, at 'Acton', Woodville and other places, showing fund raising and commemoration days during and after the first World War, such as Cheer Up Society work and marches, events such as Repatriation Day, French Red Cross Day and the opening of the Soldiers' War Memorial on North Terrace. Eileen married John Frederick Bagot in 1915 before his departure to France with the 13th Light Horse brigade and this album includes a number of photographs presumably taken by John Bagot, of fellow officers, places in Egypt, France and Palestine, and of the Camel Corps. The album contains five additional loose photographs, six postcards and one newspaper cutting regarding the sale of Stradbroke, the Magill home of Mr C. L. J. Dubois (maternal grandfather of Eileen Ive) and these have been placed at the end of the album. The postcards and newspaper clipping have not been digitised.
