Portrait of a naval officer

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Wow the resemblance is quite strong, and the dates look to be right too. I'd love to get a confirmation on that uniform, as I have a niggling thought that this might be another theatre-type. Thanks for the links we've put them all into our records - I have a feeling this one will be solved :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Fantastic research! I am sidetracked by Colonel A Spain though, particularly as my first thought was that the man second from right holding the programme, was him instead. This photo in particular looks like him. This photo also looks like him, more so than the man to the left. Plus this album is also interesting. See photo 12, caption says '[Colonel Bruxner, Judge Alfred Paxton Backhouse, the Captain and Colonel A.Spain and party at the Anniversary Regatta, 1937]'. Judge Backhouse is third from left in bowler hat, Colonel Bruxner is second from left, the Captain centre and then Colonel A Spain second from right. Regarding it being a regatta flagship, we thought so too, not just because of the presence of VIPs, but because of the flags in the background. By the way, great spotting in terms of the programme!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Hmmm, it is difficult to be sure especially as it is only his profile visible in this pic. It's interesting also in the pic you linked to, do you think the man to his left looks a bit like the man we thought was Spain in our pic? I think that probably the case re the yachties! :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice! Caption amended. :) Still lookin' at that Colonel Spain though... :P
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Nice one!! I also thought the bow-tie chap was D.L. (Douglas) Dowdell based on the links you provided. Same look really. Also think you may be correct re Evans, Thorne and Garlick. Well done!! Records updated. :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] thanks for sharing the extra pics! Great to see more newspapers being digitised. I'm excited by all the new information that will become available and all the photographs that will therefore be unlocked :) So great to identify faces within our collection, thank you so much quasymody!

beachcomber australia Yes indeed! Thanks beachcomber. And how about our discovery of pianist/impresario/producer/ballet dancer Daphne Deane eh? :) We love the National Library of Australia's Trove!
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons I can't find any substantial or relevant articles or biographies in Trove or Google for "Daphne Deane", except for a novel. Where did you find her?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia We found a few Sydney Mail articles through Google but there's also a list on Trove we created. They aren't amazingly detailed articles, but we will do some more searching. You found a novel?
beachcomber australia said:
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Thanks for the list. The novel - "Daphne Deane" by Grace Livingstone Hill - books.google.com.au/books/about/Daphne_Deane.html?id=g7WL... . Not connected, I think.
