    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Disability History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Gettysburg veteran General Daniel Sickles at the Great Reunion in 1913. He died the following year at age 94. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Sickles
  • BobMeade said:
    Interesting to caption this as "Cheering Sickles". General Sickles himself appears to also be cheering, and every person in the photo appears to be looking at one place. Would Sickles have been cheering himself? Today that would seem unlikely, but I'm not sure of the etiquette for cheering in 1913.

    Sickles was in his 90s at the Great Reunion, he was allowed to cheer for anything as he pleased. ;) And from the stories about him, I doubt etiquette was ever a major consideration in his life, at any age.

    As a legislator he had pushed for the establishment of Gettysburg as a park. Perhaps that was what the cheering was about. bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=S000402 has a briefer bio than Wikipedia, focusing on his political career in New York State and Congress. See comments on www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3681834943/ for more about him and his female companion, Mrs. Wilmerding. This picture was used in a longer biography at www.sicklesatgettysburg.com/Sickles_Biography.html NYT of June 30, 1913 reports on his visit to the Gettysburg reunion: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9502E6DD153FE633A...

Cheering schoolboys

from State Library of Queensland

    Does anyone recognise the tie, the badge or the hat? We'd love to identify the school these lads were cheering so hard for.

    goal!

    They look older than school boys, people tend to look different through different periods of time.

    Brisbane Grammar School, Gregory Terrace was dark blue, light blue in the design of the ties worn here. The hat of this epoch (at least 1955) was the felt hat worn here and a magnification of the hat band of the boy centre shows an, I would say, certain partial Grammar logo visible centre on the band. (The boy on the right is not wearing a blazer and the badge is not the BGS badge - unless an Old Boys badge) Rugby attempted tackle, I imagine . . . Rah Rah Rah!!
