2953 Acting Sargent-(A/Sgt)-Charles Francis Maule Payne-(Bottom row/3rd from left)-was my great grandfather. He was allocated land from the government after returning home from active duties during WW1. The location of that land is where the Hazelwood Cooling Pondage now stands as part of the Hazelwood Power Station-(Decommissioned). A commemorative plaque overlooking the pondage lists the names of returned WW1 soldiers who also had land allocated to them in that area..."Lest We Forget" 😔🌹

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.

This photo was taken on the day my great grandfather, Herbert Allen Gathercole boarded the 'Ballarat' with the Australian Imperial Force Railway Company so I believe he is pictured here.

My first cousin twice removed, George Walter DOWNEY, is recorded as embarking on the Troopship Ballarat on 29th Feb 1917. This date does not exist. I believe this was a typo and should read 19th Feb 1917. He was on the Ballarat when it was torpedoed by a submarine and sunk.
