Ma Ma Creek War MemorialPrint Page Print this page The memorial was erected in 1920 for Fleurine Elsie Andrews in memory of her three sons who were killed in World War One. The front plaque bears a leaded ivy leaf motif, inscriptions and the names and details of the three Andrews brothers who lost their lives. The memorial is situated in the St Stephens cemetery, directly behind the Andrews family plot. Although privately owned, it is the focus of public ANZAC Day memorial services.

Beautiful composition.

No luck on a quick search of Col. Andrews. However, I did find some info about the Pach Brothers, who took this portrait: dlib.nyu.edu/eadapp/transform?source=nyhs/pach.xml&st... And here's how their studio at 935 Broadway looks today: maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=935... Seems there's a Restoration Hardware there now. ): Can still the Empire State Building, however.

A Lt. Col. G. Andrews was the commanding officer of the 6th Infantry in November 1858 - books.google.com.au/books?id=xZgFAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA782&am... and also in 1861: books.google.com.au/books?id=w3QwAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA131&am... Maybe it's the same bloke, maybe not.

Thanks! We'll update the source data to include the name of photographic studio and his first name initial and we'll reload the description.

"George Andrews (August 26, 1850 – September 10, 1928) was an officer in the United States Army who served as Adjutant General of the U.S. Army from 1912 to 1914." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Andrews_%28adjutant_general%29 The Sunday Oregonian, August 25, 1912, SECTION FIVE, Image 63 used this photo with the caption: "Colonel George Andrews is the new Adjutant-General of the Army. He was appointed by the President recently to succeed Frederick C. Ainsworth, whose removal came through a controversy with the President and the Secretary of War. Andrews will take the rank of Brigadier-General. He was born in Rhode Island August 26, 1850 and is a graduate of Westpoint."

Thanks B-59. We'll update his name and date range.
