A new railway carriage being built at Islington Workshops, South Australian Railways
A new railway carriage being built at coachbuilder Duncan and Fraser's factory. A researcher has provided the following information: Duncan and Fraser was a well-known coach builder and built railway carriages, horse-drawn vehicles, horse trams, electric trams, and motor bodies, especially for model T Fords. Originally in Franklin Street, they later built a factory at Woodville, later taken over by Holden Body Builders. Another researcher has provided the following information: "According to the National Railway Museum Port Adelaide the photo was taken at Islington Workshops in 1908. The clerestory car on the right was one of 10 cars built for the SAR in 1908 for use on the Glenelg lines. These all had 10' 6" wide bodies and were all converted to Centenary Cars in the 1936 conversions. Two of the cars were baggage cars numbered 268 and 269, so my guess is that the car in the photo is one of these two cars. Car 268 was used as a buffet car on the Centenary Ltd for a short time. It is now preserved at the Broken Hill Railway Museum. The remaining cars in the photo are all narrow gauge "short tom" cars with two central windows for the toilet, six windows either side of the toilet on each side and one window each side of the door in each end. These cars were numbered in the series 157 to 170 and they all entered service around 1908. Flinders, Sturt etc [at Pichi Richi Railway] are examples of this type of car. According to the SAR records, none of the cars mentioned above were built by Duncan and Fraser. Duncan and Fraser did build some Glenelg cars, but nowhere near the timeline for the narrow gauge cars listed above".
Military funeral in Adelaide
A military funeral in Adelaide led by a horse drawn cortege followed by slow marching soldiers bearing reversed arms.

This photo appears to have been taken on Sturt Street, just before Chatham Street and looking east.
