POSTCARD: MAURICE GEORGE HANCOCK WITH SUBIACO CLASS GROUP

« Prev Item Next Item »

c. 1905

Overview

Front: The photograph features a class from the Subiaco School taken out of doors against the background of a hedge. The school buildings can be seen behind the hedge. The children are arranged in four rows, and include Maurice George Hancock, fifth from the left in the second row, who was born on 10 May 1895 and died on 4 October 1916 (in the Great War). Girls are in the two back rows and the boys are seated in the two front rows.
Reverse: Reverse of photograph may be used as postcard.
Beneath and to the left of POST CARD is written ‘Correspondence’ and to the right ‘Address only'.
Also on reverse, handwritten 'x Maurice George Hancock'

New information indicates photograph may be from 1931 (see context details)

Historical information

One of a number of photographs of Hancock family members.

New information indicates that this photograph may have been taken later than first recorded. Another print of the same photo has noted on the reverse a note about Norma Fishwick: 'Norma aged 51/2 years / first week of school / Feb 1931'. This contradicts donor information that Maurice George Hancock is in the photo as he died in 1916.
