My father

 

 It is 101 years ago my father was born in New Zealand to an Australian father and an English mother, the family returned to Australia when dad was about 10 and he completed school as Dux of North Sydney Boys High School.

He then joined the army but injured at Tobruk and discharged in 1942, this photo was taken in Townsville the last time I saw him in 1996 and he died in 2000.

 This is a copy of a birth certificate  , this male baby apparently died aged about 3 to 6 months but there is no record of his death.My mother's cousin worked in Birth,deaths and marriages and could not find any record of his death but then this was in an isolated area miles north of Perth or any other bigger town.

The Parents then came back to Victoria and went on to have 7 daughters my Grandmother being the second eldest.

 2/09/2022   Photo a Day   Plastic

  This clock is made from Bakelite the first ever plastic invented in the early 20th century. this clock was a gift from my father to my mother to celebrate my birth so we are the same age, fortunately I still work (a lot slower than I used to !) but this clock doesn't work anymore and would cost too much to fix according to one expert so it is just an ornament now
