G'Day Brian Coach Painters were still operating for such vehicles as horse drawn Bakers Carts and Dairy Floats into the early 1950s when such items were still being home delivered Regards Kenneth Clark essage----- From: Anne Young Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 6:48 PM To: aus-vic-goldfields@rootsweb.com ; bkcockerall@bigpond.com Subject: Re: coach painter Hi Brian You can look at pictures of coaches that were about in 1915 through the National Library's Trove service using for example the following search: http://trove.nla.gov.au/picture/result?q=coach&l-decade=191&l-year=1915 Examples of pictures that come up are: . Willunga Royal Mail Coach at http://images.slsa.sa.gov.au/mpcimg/55500/B55417_246.htm . A coach at Kenilworth in Queensland in 1915 https://sunshinecoast.spydus.com/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/PIC/BIBENQ/5557648/537946,1?FMT=IMG&IMGNUM=1 . Coach and horses and a motor bus with passengers in Victoria http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/pictoria/gid/slv-pic-aab86999/1/b12252 Your uncle perhaps might have moved from horse drawn coaches to the newer motor buses but perhaps what also prompted his enlistment was reduced employment prospects as well as enthusiasm for the empire's cause.
