It's a lovely stern shot of the old ship, Mr. Wilson did a great job on this one.

I know one of the gentlemen in this photo (13th head from the right with moustache). He is my Great Great Grandfather Sapper Alfred Baldwin. Number 3942. Fought on the Western Front, returned to Australia 18th May 1918. He was 44 years and 3 months when he enlisted (one of the oldest?). I have many photos and letters from soldiers from Violet Town/Boho in northern Victoria.

He has paper folded in his Left Chest pocket :)

I wonder what happened to R.V. Matthews? I searched the AWM site - no mention of him as wounded or killed.
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Hi Beachcomber - the WW1 nominal roll records him as returning to Australia on the 27 of August 1917. bit.ly/SJkBHG I you are super keen you can look at his full service record through www.naa.gov.au. You probably already know but just go to 'Search the Collection' then 'begin your search'. Surname & service number usually work best. Looks as though he was invalided home after spending most of his service in hospital....

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Thanks for the links, I did not know. It is amazing how much more interesting an old photo like this one becomes even with just one name in many faces. And slightly spooky; I feel like I might be disturbing their RIP.
