Great War Ephemera: Gunner Moody
http://great-war-ephemera.blogspot.com/2006/08/gunner-moody.html
Some of the stuff that my Grandad left in a couple of old boxes in the rafters of his work shed. Sunday, January 11, 2009. How Jack came to have this pass in his possession, I do not know. He was a fellow artillery signaller, that is clear. Some research at the Australian War Memorial and National Archives websites turned up the following information. SERN 22208 Clement Vaughan MOODY. 8th Field Artillery Brigade, 30th Battery. Note (30 March 2010):. See the post in Jack's Diary. What a story of devotion.

Great War Ephemera: Faces on a Train
http://great-war-ephemera.blogspot.com/2006/09/faces-on-train.html
Some of the stuff that my Grandad left in a couple of old boxes in the rafters of his work shed. Sunday, September 10, 2006. Faces on a Train. This is obviously in UK somewhere, but not a clue what might be happening. Is this 'the boys' leaving the Codford Camp to start their journeys home to Australia? Or are they just off on an outing somewhere. Can't ask Jack - he's been gone for 21 years! Anyhow, at least one of them looks quite pleased to be going wherever the train is taking them.

Some of the stuff that my Grandad left in a couple of old boxes in the rafters of his work shed. Thursday, October 05, 2006. Villers-Brettoneux and Battle of Hamel Christmas and New Year Card. The four images following are on a folded card. One other collector of Great War ephemera with whom I have had contact has only one half of this set. Reverse of front page: I think that this is the German tank that stood outside the old Brisbane Museum. Third page: Battle of Hamel. Back page: Battle of Hamel.

Some of the stuff that my Grandad left in a couple of old boxes in the rafters of his work shed. Thursday, May 06, 2010. More about Gwendolyn's Travel. Sorry about the mismatched sizes on screen ; I had to download it as two images, and despite much fiddling I cannot get them to line up properly. Anyway, I found this in the The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842-1954), Friday 5 February 1926, page 6 on the National Library of Australia newspapers website. Search terms: vasco mandolin.

Great War Ephemera: Ivanhoe Hotel

Some of the stuff that my Grandad left in a couple of old boxes in the rafters of his work shed. Friday, September 08, 2006. Although there is no date on this receipt, I am guessing that this is the same Ivanhoe Hotel mentioned in the first entry in Jack's Diary, Thursday August 8. 1918 which " . dawned rather wet and dull much to the disappointment of the occupant of room N. However, the room number on the receipt is 615, so maybe it was from another visit. Posted by Geoff D @ 7:09 am. Over 60, with a s...
