  Laying the foundation stone

  You may be more familiar with its current name, Bewley’s Hotel Ballsbridge
  
  Edit: “The Square and Compasses are really the most well known Freemason symbol. The meaning behind it is quite literal, with the square representing morality in that Freemasons need to ‘square [their] actions by the square of virtue with all mankind’.
  The compass then measures the ability to wisely conduct actions within certain boundaries. In other words, together the Square and Compasses remind Freemasons to explore their desires and passions without stepping outside the realms of moral behaviour.”

  The ‘Star of David’ or more properly Solomon’s Seal, is another symbol, and harks back to the Temple of Solomon.
  I wonder how many guests even notice as the enter the hotel?

  The bazaar was held Easter 1882 in the Dublin
  Exhibition Hall (1865) on Earlsfort Terrace where the concert hall now stands. It's aim was to raise funds for the Masonic School in Ballsbridge... where the Clayton Hotel is now.

Queensland Red Cross Nurses during World War I

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Nurses who served in World War One were exposed to the physical and mental strain of dealing with the huge number of casualties from the battles. Once a nurse enlisted, they had no choice but to serve for the duration of the war unless they got badly injured or married. More than 3 000 Australian women served as nurses during World War One.

  The caps or hats tied at the neck with bows are interesting. The fabric of their dresses would have to be a long wearing material such as a heavy cotton and hats and lapels with insignia gave them the look of a 'uniform' similar in style and colour to the men.
