Flora, Gladys & Colin Glover - ca.1918-1988

The photo at right (L-R: Gladys Murrell nee Glover, Colin Glover & Flora Wright nee Glover) was taken in my Uncle Colin's garden at Northmead in Sydney in 1988. I had taken my mother, Flora, and my Aunty Glad, to visit their brother, who was very ill at the time. Uncle Colin died on 1 March 1988, shortly after this photo was taken. My mother and aunt were not long to follow him on 19 November 1991 and 4 December 1991, respectively. The photo at left shows them in ca.1918 (L-R: Flora, Gladys & Colin Glover), just as they were setting out upon their lives. Seventy years separate the two photographs.

I estimate this adorable photo of my beloved mother, Emily Flora Wright (known as Flora) nee Glover, and her big brother, Colin James Glover, was probably taken some time around 1914. Uncle Colin is dressed as a little Australian soldier, complete with slouch hat and swagger stick, making it right for the First World War era, and Mum was born in 1911.
