    I wonder is that really a British military uniform... It could be the uniform of a particular office such as a Lord Lieutenant etc. Also, the medals are unusual in that each appears to have a circular rosette on the ribbon - Could they represent orders? The badge at his neck could be that of the French Légion d'honneur, but the star on his chest is different. Perhaps he is a diplomat?

    A detailed pdf document at some library or other. Arthur Patrick O’Brien was born in London on 25 September 1872 ... In early 1919, partly on Collins’ suggestion, Ó Briain was appointed the envoy of Dáil Eireann in Britain ... In March 1923, however, Ó Briain and many others were arrested and deported to Ireland. ...From 1924 to 1932, Ó Briain was effectively absent from public life ... To the surprise of many, he was appointed Irish Minister to France and Belgium in June 1935; a position he held until September 1938 when he retired.

    I'm guessing this is 1935-38, and the other guy is French or Belgian.

    A blog entry also at the nli on his papers.

    Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who possessed Esher Place as Bishop of Winchester, was kept there under house arrest after his fall from power, when the estate was seized by Henry VIII. Esher Place is not to be confused with Hampton Court Palace.

    Does anyone know where this baths was? (Or these baths were?!) I cannot find any reference to indoor baths in Sydney, except for at Dawes Point. Ironwork looks c.1890, but there are electric lamps, so possibly later? See Newcastle Municipal Baths -
