[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Ahhh!! well spotted! Thank you so much quasymody! :) You're on a roll. I think there's definitely a blog there, especially as they name a few who 'responded to the call'.

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] It's interesting, I've just noticed these men appear to be holding instruments which would match with your assumption that 00024594 was taken on the same occasion. I'm thinking the man just beyond our 'Colonel' appears in the NLA article far right just on the edge of the photo. This could mean it was the same day?? Though not a given...

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] wow! Great work yet again Quasymody. I think there's another blog in that :) How can you even see the dog in the Mirror of Australia pic?! Surely it has to have been taken at the same time then...
