    Very nice helmet, it's rare to see a foreign service type with a rounded bill.

Statue of the Queen

from Powerhouse Museum

  • BobMeade said:
    Looks like the statue of Her Majesty in Macquarie Street, near Hyde Park. I'll have to check on that one.

    Yes it is - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2363479550/ Centennial celebrations a couple of days early on 24 January 1888 ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    No, it was the unveiling of the new statue of Queen Victoria in the renamed Chancery Square, with a crowd of 60,000. See the Sydney Morning Herald for 25/01/1888 (the following day) page 5. trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1391390?zoomLevel=5
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It is interesting to read in the newspaper above that the original intention was to move the statue of Queen Victoria from the Garden Palace ( www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/4067538364/ ) to this position, but it was unfortunately destroyed in the great fire of 1882.

Dick and Cissie Rodgers in a rickshaw, Cape Town, South Africa, ca. 1905

    There is some doubt as to the correct spelling to Dick’s surname. George Richard Rogers or George Richard Rodgers In the Australia War Memorial records (Boer War Nominal roll) and Australians serving in the Boer War (members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/military/index.html) he is named: George Richard Rogers Service number: 346 Rank: Private Unit: 5 (QLD IMPERIAL BUSHMEN) CNTGNT Departed: March 6, 1901. Returned: April 30, 1902. But in a newspaper article of the time he is described as George Richard Rodgers - nla.gov.au/nla.news-article21254456

    I would also wish to comment that I'm not sure this would have been in Capetown but rather in Durban... The rickshaw was a popular mode of transport in Durban were the local Zulu people were more often employed to do such work. In Capetown the local peoples were comprised of Cape Malay and Hottentot peoples and this gentleman is not from one of these peoples...
