Summary

Motor buggy. According to a researcher, if the registration number on the buggy is 2662, then this was issued in 1912 to a Mr. A. Sharman of Melton S.A. Another list shows the same number, 2662, as being issued to Mr. Alfred Sharman of Gilberton Terrace, Walkerville. One is probably his residential address and the other perhaps his property where the buggy was used. This style of vehicle ceased production in U.S.A. in 1911. The family can be seen riding in the motor buggy which has the canopy extended to protect the ladies from the elements. In 1916 Alfred Henry Sharman enlisted in the Australian Army and fought in France at Villers-Bretonneux. The nineteen year old farmer lived at Melton.
