Alastair and June Henderson made this offer. I accepted with glee. I received two photos circa 1896 that are exceptional in quality and clarity. Anyone interested can see them at http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-uniforms/australian-6.htm Can I publicly thank June and Alastair for being willing to share their treasured links to the past with all of us.
