Bev What was the name of your hubby's father? And when roughly would have photo have been taken? That way someone might be able to find a connection between them of some kind. Since studio photography was not as cheap as a "happy snap" today, they were usually formal photos of family groups, rather than a couple of mates. I'd be guessing they are either related or you are seeing wedding photography; maybe your father-in-law was Harry's best man? There is a Harry Slack in the electoral rolls in Brisbane. He moved around a bit, but lived in the NE part of Brisbane, suburbs like Virginia, Gaythorne & Chermside. He was a clerk. Of course Harry might not be the official name; it might actually be Henry, in which case the electoral rolls throw up more possibilities.

No studio name to them. But it would be in Brisbane. So, who on earth is Harry SLACK? Why would there be a photo taken of these two? Were they good mates? Does anyone have a Harry SLACK.

Hi Kerry Not related at all Kerry, nothing to do with the army either as Syd was never in the Army. He played cricket and was a volunteer in the Fire Brigade, so cannot see why a formal studio photo would be taken for either of those activities. The photo of Syd. and Harry would have been taken c 1925. Even the Henry Slack that was born c 1910 does not ring a bell, but he cannot be ruled out of course. My only thought was that they went to school together and that their birthday's were the same day and that this is a 21st birthday photo. I am afraid this will remain a mystery. I have seen the Harry SLACK on the electoral rolls.
