Overview

Image: The original black and white photograph features several of the VAD women standing together with party streamers in their hands. They are wearing summer uniforms, hats and gloves. Two women look up towards the camera; presumably these are Edna Bone and Dot Hannigan. The photograph was taken out of doors and there is some detail of non-VAD people in the background. The occasion is the wedding of Sylvia Williams and Cpl H Cullen.

Reverse: Written in ink 'Edna Bone and Dot Hannigan'.
