I have quite a few photos by J. C Wiepel West Maitland. Most of the photos are of family.

Leslie Allan BOWLER, First Australian Light Horse Brigade, Headquarters Regimental number 4
Leslie Allan Bowler 14 June 1892 – 9 July 1983
First Australian Light Horse Brigade. Brigade Headquarters Section
Enlisted 9 Sep 1914 embarked 21 Oct 1914 Transport A3 Orvieto  returned to Australia 19 May 1918
I would like to know if there is any information about my uncle in the war as he did not like to talk about it and said some things you would rather forget.
I think he was at Gallipoli and at some point was the driver for a general.
I will be happy with any information and help.

Thank you

I was worried about my mother answering the phone and changing her bank account to a better one the bank recommended. This mucked up all the automatic payments. I had to go to the bank and use power of attorney to fix up the mess.
We then got her an answering machine and said not answer the phone and to let whoever is ringing give a number and you can call back your friends and let us listen to any you do not know.
It has worked out a lot better.
All her friends and relatives know the arrangement and it works well.
There have been a lot of hang up calls when we visit so she is missing a lot of cold calling. Also as she is in her 90’s she is not tempted to rush to answer the phone.
One call she had on the answering machine was from “the taxation office” saying she had a refund.
I said no way would the taxation department be ringing to give you a refund..

 

Thank you Yvonne

That was so thoughtful of you to do a cleanup.
Before and after but also now a nice photo of how the original would have looked before it got grubby with age.
I had already printed the original and now having printed your copy I can see what you have done.
The cleanup looks as it should so it is not fully appreciated until you see the original next to it.
Very well done.

Many thanks

Terri

Thank you Caroline

This is amazing.
It all works so well together. The detail of what is on the pedestal and fan is great with the pink flowers softening the dress.
I have also printed this photo to give to my mother.
With the colour photos I gave my mother previously of her grandmother she put one up in a frame at a time and every week or so changes the photo so she enjoys them all one at a time. I enjoy seeing which is on display when I visit.
I will get another frame for these photos so she can have the pleasure of looking and appreciating each of them.
Many thanks

Regards

Terri
