Herbert Allan CONRAN 3812 died 05 August 1916

I gather this pic might have been taken in late June 1915, when South Australian Governor Sir Henry Galway and Lady Galway visited Sydney...per various newspaper items, they were accompanied by Charlotte D'Erlanger (Lady Galway's daughter from her first marriage), Miss Macaulay and Miss [Sybil] Irving... The woman in the front row rhs might be Lady Edeline Strickland, the NSW Governor's wife, but I'm unsure. Surprisingly, there are very few pics of her available in the various on-line collections. trove.nla.gov.au/work/208499368 - Lady Galway can be identified via this SLSA pic... trove.nla.gov.au/work/208537491 - Charlotte D'Erlanger can be identified via this SLSA pic... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/238826059 - Sydney Daily Telegraph, 29th April, 1915...Captain Pasco and Captain D'Apice can be identified via this pic, which was taken when Sir Henry Galway visited Sydney in April 1915. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/122793453 - Sunday Times, 29th April, 1917 - Harry Budge can be more or less identified via this pic of the NSW Governor's staff...and via various pics that appear in other collections. I'm very uncertain re the identities of the young women in the back row...possibly Strickland daughters (there were five)...possibly Mabel (b. 1899) on the lhs...Mary (b. 1896) on the rhs... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel_Strickland - 1930s pic of Mabel Strickland. www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/998471 - later life portrait of Mary Strickland. The location is of course Cranbrook, the NSW Governor's residence in the period 1901-17 www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/8474206395/
