Queensland’s 15th Governor was also it is longest-serving. Sir Leslie Orme Wilson was no stranger to Australia. His wife, Winifred, was a Sydneysider, and Sir Leslie met the future Lady Wilson while he was serving as an Aide-de-Camp to the Governor of New South Wales, Sir Harry Rawson. Wilson had even visited Queensland at the invitation of Lord Chelmsford, and enjoyed duck shooting in the coastal country! A decorated soldier who had fought at Gallipoli and in France, he served as Governor of Bombay before being invited to take up the role of vice-regal representative in Queensland. Wilson was an energetic and pragmatic patron of many worthy causes, including the Queensland Society for Crippled Children (today known as Montrose Therapy & Respite Services). But he is best remembered for driving the foundation of the Royal Queensland Bush Children’s Health Scheme, now known as BUSHkids, to help country children with serious medical needs. Since its creation, BUSHkids has helped more than 42,000 Queensland children and their families. Wherever he traveled throughout the State, from large regional cities to the tiniest township, Wilson encouraged the local historical societies in their work. On opening the John Oxley Memorial Library in 1934, he reflected that the preservation of history is “… a duty which this generation owes to the past, to the present and certainly to the future”. Once war broke out, Wilson made short films to encourage Queenslanders to support the Red Cross Prisoner of War Street Adoption Scheme. He even affixed a sign to the front gate of Fernberg stating “This Street Supports a Prisoner of War”. He attended patriotic meetings and Red Cross meetings and spoke with the authority of a veteran about the war to an anxious Queensland. His first term of office was extended until 1942 and his tenure extended again through the war years, until 1946. At his farewell, 2,000 Boy Scouts and Girl Guides were assembled to form an outline of the map of Queensland. Queenslanders were sad to see their affable and popular Governor and his wife leave Government House. Source: www.govhouse.qld.gov.au/media/73000/45624-government-hous...

from Wikipedia: Francisco Ignacio Madero González (October 30, 1873 – February 22, 1913) was a politician, writer and revolutionary who served as President of Mexico from 1911 to 1913. As a respectable upper-class politician, he supplied a center around which opposition to the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz could coalesce. However, once Díaz was deposed, he proved to be ineffective and the Mexican Revolution quickly spun out of Madero's control. He was deposed and executed by the Porfirista military and his aides, which he neglected to replace with revolutionary supporters. His assassination was followed by the most violent period of the revolution in Mexico (1913–1917) until the Constitution of 1917 and revolutionary president Venustiano Carranza achieved some degree of stability. Followers of Madero were known as Maderistas.

Shadrach Christopoulos: Thanks for the detailed information on Francisco Madero. We will add some of it to the image description when we update.

There´s the same picture with more definition you can see Madero´s rigtht hand vandaged and hanging over the chest. That means that this picture must been taken after Casas Grandes balttle (or just later) which took place on March 6, 1911. After Casas Grandes fail, Madero retreated to Bustillos Hacienda. Maybe this picture was taken nearby. Dr. Roberto Duarte

You can see a picture of Francisco I. Madero (wearing the same clothes, his right hand hanging on a sling) standing among Pascual Orozco, Guiseppe Garibaldi and Raul Madero, printed on New York Tribune, issue February 24, 1913 [he was slain on February 22] (The Library of Congress, Cronicling America), but surely copied from a photo of C. C. Harris collection, which now is posted in The Getty Research Institute, Los Angeles. Both pictures were most likely taken at Bustillos Hacienda (or nearby) where Madero retreated after his failure in taking Casas Grandes on March 6, 1911, when and where he was wounded in his right arm.
