See an earlier picture of McDonald and Young Fox.

Young Fox is a British boxer and McDonald his manager.

Bain's caption does not identify the man at right.

Dal Hawkins appears to be an ex-boxer by 1914. See boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=10974&cat=boxer NYT of Oct 29, 1914 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70D16F73F5A15738... suggests that he had a training facility for boxers "on the Westchester Road."

" Many of the Bell's fighters were Indigenous Australians, who Arnold Bell said were not only very good fighters, but were good showmen as well, knowing when to make their opponent look good, and when "to knock him over". Mr. Bell said that the boxing tents were the most popular event in the sideshows, in an era when boxing was a popular sport. "Most of the Australian champions in those days started with the boxing tents. That's where they learned how to fight." The Bell family traveled the country show circuit through Victoria to New South Wales and Queensland and into the Northern Territory, "following the sun". Arnold Bell was a fighter from 16 years old until his forties. Source: www.abc.net.au/news/2017-05-16/arnold-bell-and-his-life-a...

King Nikola I Petrovich of Montenegro (1860-1918) has been photographed by John Warwick Brooke standing with two officers beside a small fighter plane. King Nikola stands beside a two-seat reconnaissance machine, a Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter (One and a half Strutter), no small single seat fighter here. Kees
