    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Definitely another bow to the NLA's digitised newspapers on the mighty Trove! :) Hmmm, not sure that that's Harold Baker to be honest, the collar looks different. Love the disobedient photobombing dog. :P

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] also just uploaded a clearer scan of the image. According to our photographer, sometimes the scanner has trouble with glass plates as the dark areas can behave like a mirror inhibiting the light passing through the negative. :)

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] no problems! Happy to set the record straight. We also now notice that the man on the extreme right is probably not Harald Baker unfortunately, as the man far right in our photo now looks more like the man to the left of Baker in the NLA article. Loved that you noticed the girl in the little white dress!

Olympic Athletes (LOC)

    FLAG DAY, June 14, 1912: The ship "Finland" was chartered by the U. S. Olympic Committee to carry the American Olympic Team to the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm, Sweden. It departed New York harbor on June 14, 1912 (the scene photographed above), and served as training and living quarters for the team as it crossed the Atlantic and during the games as well, when it was stationed in Stockholm harbor as a floating hotel. Story in the New York Times, February 27, 1912, discussing plans for the voyage: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9905E0D6173CE6...

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Wow QM what an effort! Thanks so much for your brilliant sleuthing, despite the errors! That Sydney Mail spread is amazing. So, so far this pic and this one flic.kr/p/bQ6UkK is from the 1915 march...based on what I've gathered from your comments so far...?

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Correct yes. I was reading the article spread in SMH nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15599942 and was also wondering if the 'travelling kitchen' is linked to ours flic.kr/p/bC1wvd Just a thought, I doubt we can confirm that kind of thing. :)
