Summary

The album contains photographs relating primarily to the life of John Wilson Hursthouse (1913-1945) including family camping holidays to the South-East, Yorke Peninsula and Eyre Peninsula between 1925-1930; schooling at Queen's School, North Adelaide, and Roseworthy Agricultural College, Boy Scouts, Army training at Kapunda Military camp, shearing at Middle Camp near Cowell and Elbow Hill (1934-1936); wheat harvesting at Gum Park, Yongala 1937; and training as an RAAF pilot at Parafield Aerodrome. The album includes a family portrait of John (Jack) with his parents Calvert Fearon Hursthouse and Lilian Ethel (nee Preshaw), and his siblings Helen Mary and Harold Richmond (Dick). Another photograph includes his son David as a child. There is an additional photograph mounted on a loose sheet, showing a row of seven Wackett Trainer aircraft of the A3 (Third squadron) RAAF, with pilots in the foreground and a Douglas DC2 aircraft in the background, thought to be at Parafield airport. John Hursthouse is one of the airmen pictured. See CONTENTS for more information and details.
