Thank you Sparret. I hadn't searched the NAA as I was struggling with the right name to search. I will delve into what you have suggested and see if it makes sense with the other photos I have.

In regard to the 1st photo (Ronald) that was taken in Broken Hill, NSW, Australia

Taken in Melbourne Australia and dated for 1920. WW1 service.

Possibly linked to HMAS Adelaide in the 1924 as pamphlets relating to the Special Service Squadron tour, which that ship was part of. Went to Portsmouth, San Francesco and Canada I believe that year

Thank you all for the suggestions. Not finding  either of the names suggested at this time but will get trying variations. Thank you for the assistance - Sturdy. (Ironically these are the only couple of photos written on and I can't read them)

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Box of old photos - few clues

Good evening all,

I am working through a box of old photos with very few written clues, and those I do have I am struggling to read. The first is a WW1 sailor and written on the front is 'Harry' but on the back I can't read the surname. The second is an elderly gentleman. I think the first name is 'Ronald' but not sure of the name at all.

Looking for some assistance with these names. Greatly appreciated. - Sturdy

Thank you all - following up your SURTEES lead I actually found a duplicate photo on Ancestry under the name of Caroline Isabel SURTESS (1848-1946). Mystery solved. Thank you. Now for Louisa

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Caroline ????? 1862

Good evening all,

I am sorting through a group of old photos and struck two that I can not make out fully. First is from 1862 and I think read "Caroline ?????" and the second possibly "Lorraine?  6 years"

Any assistance in deciphering the hand writing would be greatly appreciated.
