• Hilda Maclean said:

  The incorrect description has been pasted with this image. Charles O'Shea was buried at the Nudgee Catholic Cemetery on the 20 February 1939. The funeral notices can be found here. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/188015788

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  It seems the description is by mistake taken from the previous image. This is what I have discovered, and could be related to Charles O'Shea Charles O'Shea Service number666 RankGunner Unit36th Australian Heavy Artillery Brigade Conflict/OperationFirst World War, 1914-1918 Source: www.awm.gov.au/collection/R1502299

  I don't see any Majors.

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  derangedlemur That's the one, thanks. ofarrl told us a while back that it no longer exists.

• Ben Fagan said:

  Could the Major be the chap in the middle with the mustache? As I recall officers and NCOs had to have facial hair until the 1930s in the army, one man was court marshaled for shaving his off during WW1!

• Ben Fagan said:

  Ok, Captain, but not Major. Still a person of importance
