dukeofgloucester

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Henry,_Duke_of_Gloucester The Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (Henry William Frederick Albert; 31 March 1900 – 10 June 1974) was a member of the British Royal Family, the third son of George V of the United Kingdom and Queen Mary, and thus uncle to Elizabeth II. He was appointed potential regent for his niece, when his brother (George VI) came to the throne in 1936, and was required to stay in the United Kingdom until she came of age in case her father died and she ascended the throne under age. The Duke served as the 11th Governor-General of Australia, from 1945 to 1947. At his death, he was the last surviving knight of the Order of St. Patrick.

It would most likely be circa 1913--1918 since he was born in 1900.

Thanks Wystan, for reading the date on the negative. We'll add the date to the record the next time we update it.

[Oh no!]

I am running in the other direction.

beachcomber australia BobMeade Hehe ;)

If I am not mistaken, the destroyer in the background looks to be an ex RN V&W class destroyer, with the pennant number D 31. In that case it might be HMAS Voyager (D 31). Serving in the RAN from Dec 1933 until Apr '36. Recommissioned in April '38 and lost during the war. It might help narrowing down the respective vessel's times together.
