    I believe this article from the New York Times explains what happened here: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D0CEFDF103BE633A...

    "'WILD WOMEN' BURN AND SMASH FOR VOTE" -- Yes, that's amazing stuff! How did we ever live without this kind of free access to the pre-1923 New York Times online? How many of us would ever have gone to the library and scrolled through the microfilm for this kind of thing?

    Those gals rampaged elsewhere too. I'll find some references.

    7th March 1913: Suffragettes jailed for Kew Gardens blaze Two women were sent to jail for an arson attack which destroyed the tea pavilion at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, west London. Lilian Lenton and Olive Wharry, Suffragettes linked to the Women's Social and Political Union, had been arrested nearby on the night of the fire. Found guilty, they were sentenced to 18 months imprisonment at the Old Bailey in central London. Both were sent to Holloway prison in north London to serve out their sentences but immediately went on hunger strike, saying that they would not eat until they were released. Lenton was quickly freed after she became seriously ill following an attempt by the prison authorities to force-feed her. After a 32-day hunger strike, which she apparently managed to keep a secret from the guards, Wharry was also released. Source www.london-today.net/web/events/march/7/00003218/10251353...

    I wonder what happened to R.V. Matthews? I searched the AWM site - no mention of him as wounded or killed.

    beachcomber australia Hi Beachcomber - the WW1 nominal roll records him as returning to Australia on the 27 of August 1917. bit.ly/SJkBHG I you are super keen you can look at his full service record through www.naa.gov.au. You probably already know but just go to 'Search the Collection' then 'begin your search'. Surname & service number usually work best. Looks as though he was invalided home after spending most of his service in hospital....

    Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Thanks for the links, I did not know. It is amazing how much more interesting an old photo like this one becomes even with just one name in many faces. And slightly spooky; I feel like I might be disturbing their RIP.
