Australian architect Roy Grounds, Melbourne, 3 April 1953, by Gordon F. De Lisle

from State Library of New South Wales

  • Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:
    That would be Alice Bettine Ramsay admiring the model.

    "Grounds married Regina Marr, an American divorcee (aka Virginia Lammers; Marr was her maiden name). Their son, artist Marr Grounds, was born in Los Angeles in 1930.

    There was not a close relationship between father and son, and the parents split in 1939 and divorced a couple of years later in 1941. Roy Grounds created a scandal when he left his wife for the wife of Tom Ramsay, Alice Bettine Ramsay. Ramsay (son of William Ramsay) was known as "Mr Kiwi Boot Polish". The Grounds family lived in the affluent suburb of Toorak at the time."

    trove.nla.gov.au/work/228546329 - the ANMM has another pic of the ABC soundie... This pic appears to have been taken in Sydney on 5th May, 1940...on that occasion troops were taken to the waiting troopships by ferry... www.awm.gov.au/collection/U56047 - the AWM has the 2/4th Infantry Battalion leaving Sydney on 10th January, 1940... so this pic might involve another battalion, etc... www.awm.gov.au/collection/U56052 - Possibly the 2/9th...they evidently embarked from Sydney on 5th May, 1940...along with other battalions...the 2/10th etc

    I don't know what your 'little yellow hordes' comment is about. If you did some research you'd discover that these guys were off to fight in Europe, or as it turned out North Africa, Greece and the Middle East...if it wasn't for these guys and the thousands and thousands and thousands of others like them, Klaus Schwab's 1,000 year Reich would have started in 1942 and not 2022. They gave us 80 years of something vaguely resembling freedom and liberty...and we can at least thank them for that...

    covid convict while fighting in Europe Australia became target of the little yellow hordes and we brought our boys back to resist them. Might try reading about that too….Menzies was told by Churchill,let the Japanese take Australia,we’ll get it back….he brought them home anyway.
