Why are all the soldiers unidenified? Very mysterious.....

each day that passes without identifying these individuals will be one step further from ever being able to do so by asking anyone who may still be able to recognise them personally or through reference material. It is truly a shame that none have been identified in such an important image.

so nice picture.. love it..

"In the winter of 1917-18 [Reid] made a semi-official speaking tour of the United States of America for the war effort, but became ill at St Louis in February and again in April after returning to London. In July he took part in a debate on Irish affairs, moving an important amendment to defuse a motion condemning the government's policy. He died on 13 September 1918 of cerebral thrombosis, survived by his wife, who the previous year had been appointed G.B.E. for work on behalf of convalescent servicemen, and their two sons and daughter." -- Australian Dictionary of Biography Online

This is another picture from 1913, the meeting of the Anglo-American Peace Centenary (1814-1914) Committee. Use the tag to find the other pictures associated with the event.

See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3121124180/ Center front with watch chain on substantial paunch is Sir George Reid, High Commissioner for Australia in London.
