The Dubbo War Memorial is a large, freestone tower, positioned atop a trachyte base. Three sides of the tower feature decoration and inscriptions. High up on the tower's front face is a stone laurel wreath. Closer to ground level is a dedication to those who fell in the First World War. The second side is dedicated to the Second World War and the third is for Korea, Malaysia, Borneo and Vietnam.
The memorial's base features three detailed, bronze relief panels, which depict Australian mounted infantry (Light Horse) and artillery units in action during the First World War. There are also three circular bronze sculptures shaped like waratahs, the official floral emblem of NSW.
The memorial was constructed between 1924–1925. It was designed by Sydney architects H. Crone and R.W. Hinton, and constructed by Robert Wall & Sons, also of Sydney. Crone and Hinton's design was chosen from 55 entries in a design competition that was held in February 1924 (Evening News, 4 February 1924). Their entry was described in The Labor Daily (15 March 1924) as:
a cenotaph in dressed freestone with a fine axed trachyte base with bronzed plates, illustrating France, Gallipoli and Egypt.
The Daily's article also quoted Sir Charles Rosenthal, one of the adjudicators of the competition. He said:
the aim of the memorial was not to express satisfaction at victory, but to commemorate the service and sacrifice which had been the main characteristics of the people throughout the war.
The unveiling and dedication ceremony took place on Anzac Day, 25 April 1925. The momentous occasion was reported on detail in The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate on 28 April. The unveiling was conducted by Dubbo's most distinguished military son, Brigadier General James Heane, DSO, CMG, CB. He was accompanied by Bishop Long, Anglican Bishop of Bathurst, who performed the dedication. The newspaper enthusiastically reported:
It is estimated that upwards of 4000 people gathered last Saturday morning round the monument that the people of Dubbo and district have erected to the memory of their fallen soldiers. The ceremony from beginning to end was most impressive, and the impassioned and beautiful address delivered by Bishop Long thrilled, amazed and deeply touched every man, woman and child who was present. It was a speech the like of which few who were there have heard or will be likely to hear again.
Unlike most war memorials, the Dubbo tower is not inscribed with an honour roll of those who served or made the supreme sacrifice. Instead, these names are recorded in Books of Remembrance, which are locked in a purpose-built, waterproof recess, positioned behind one of the waratah sculptures. The books measure 25 x 20cm and are bound in vellum, with leaves of parchment. Recorded in the books is on alphabetical listing of Dubbo's fallen. Spaces have been left to add the names of those who have been missed.
The recess is the responsibility of the Mayor, who removes the books during the Anzac Day service. This tradition began at the unveiling ceremony, when Major-General Cox read the names from the book and locked them in the recess. He then presented the key to Mayor E. H. Burkitt in his role as "chief citizen of Dubbo and custodian of [the] monument". Mayor Burkitt declared he "will see that on every Anzac Day the recess is unlocked, the book removed, the names of the dead read out, and the book replaced" (The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate, 28 April 1925).
The memorial is located in Dubbo's well-maintained Victoria Park, which traces its history back to the late 1800s. It is positioned on the Darling Street side of the park, near the intersection with Church Street. In front of the memorial are a set of ornamental metal gates, bearing the dates 1914 and 1918, underneath two Rising Sun badges. The park contains several other war memorials, including Dubbo Memorial Drive, Rose Garden and Honour Rolls, the Dubbo Lone Pine and the Dubbo Vietnam War and Pte William W. Donnelly Memorial.
In 2018, two sandstone obelisks were added to the northern side of the memorial, located on either side of the Remembrance Driveway, which runs to the north. Attached to them are bronze waratah artworks, created by sculptor Brett Garling. The obelisks were established in honour of the Centenary of the Armistice, which brought the First World War to an end on 11 November 1918. They were commissioned after the Dubbo Regional Council formed a Centenary of Armistice Committee, which also involved the Dubbo RSL sub-Branch. The monuments were installed by Abbey Funeral Homes and KD Stoneworks of Tumut. A blessing and dedication ceremony was held on 11 November 2018.

Dubbo War Memorial commemorates those who have served in the various conflicts in which Australia has been involved. The memorial was originally erected to commemorate those who died in service or were killed in action during World War One. The dedication inscription for those who lost their lives in World War Two was unveiled on the 17th October 1951.
The monument features detailed bronze relief figures of Australian mounted infantry (Light Horse) and artillery units in action during World War One. The bronze tablets were unveiled on Armistice Day 1925.
A crowd of nearly 4,000 people gathered for the unveiling of the Dubbo War Memorial in Victoria Park on 25 April 1925. The memorial was unveiled by Brigadier General James Heane, DSO, CMG, CB who was educated at Dubbo Superior School and served as the Area Officer for Militia Training prior to the Great War.
The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate (NSW), 28 April 1925.
At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, when the Great War ended, the soldiers lined up over many hundreds of miles of the fronts in different parts of Europe, Asia and Africa rejoiced in that they had brought to its conclusion the war to end all wars. We know now that that was a delusion, but still it is a great day, partly of rejoicing and partly of memory for those who fell by the wayside in this great march towards peace on earth and goodwill among men. In Dubbo on Wednesday the day was made the occasion for completing our Memorial Monument by the unveiling of the bronze tablets depicting work of three of the principal arms of the service.
Mr. G. W. Browne then explained the meaning of the bronze tablets, although, as he said, they hardly needed it; for, as to the one facing Church street every boy and girl there could see that it depicted the Landing at Gallipoli. Facing the railway station was a bronze picture showing the work of that splendid arm of the service, the artillery, and a gun crew in action was there shown. On the third side was the gallant Light Horse, the mounted men, so many of whom had gone from the country district around them. They should look upon the monument as the sepulchre of dauntless men. They should forget all about war, but remember the spirit of the people who had built the monument in love and gratitude to their dead.
The Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate (NSW),
13 November 1925.
An inscription on the Soldiers' Memorial, commemorating the sacrifice of the fallen in world war 1939-1945 was unveiled by Sir John Northcott at a dedication this morning. The Bishop Co-adjutor, Rt. Rev d'Arcy Collins conducted the dedication.

This was a bear to light, because I didn't have an assistant, and it was tough to position the light on the stairwell. I used my strobe case to widen the platform so the stand wouldn't topple, but then I couldn't get it high enough. I hadn't brought my super-duper high stand for this very fast-moving guerrilla-style shoot. Ultimately the problem was solved by having the model bend a leg and get his body lower in relation to the light.
This was shot in an outdoor stairwell in broad daylight, with late afternoon sun sometimes hitting the railings. But with proper shutter speed control, it looks like the bottom of a well.
strobist info: Metz Macablitz 60, camera left, through 43" shoot through umbrella. SB-28 was up the stairwell to the left, and was probably not contributing much of anything (things got moved around). Cybersync triggers.
Read and see more from the shoot on my blog post here. And for every non-spam comment I receive, I donate a canned food item to the local food bank.

Quickly dip your finger into the design. Gently in that position dip your finger into the design. You finger will be partially in the water. Then while your finger is partially in the water quickly take an orange stick and pull away the polish around your finger. After you pull the excess away you can carefully lift you finger up.

*On March 26, the laying of the foundation stone in connection with the new Methodist Church at Merriton took place.
The stone is certainly a very nice piece of' work and was procured from Adelaide.
At 3 o'clock, Mrs W H Binney, chosen to perform the duty was presented with a silver trowel, contributed by the ladies of Merriton. Mrs Binney made a very neat and well-worded speech.
This lady is one of the first women who came to Crystal Brook, and has always held a most prominent position among the Wesleyans.
Before churches of any kind were in the area their house was utilised for church purposes. Some 28 years ago this same lady performed a similar duty, by laying the first brick of the Rocky River Wesleyan Church, which was erected on Mr Binney’s farm, and which has been lately taken down and the building material carted to erect the new edifice.
The Rev J Stephenson, gave an excellent speech on Methodism, stating in his remarks that the present stone was, the first laid in South Australia by the Methodists since the union of the churches.
Mr R M Dennis read the financial report. Mr A Fergusson then held a sale of old iron and timber from the old churches, which fetched satisfactory prices. A public tea was also held.
A concert in the evening was held in the schoolroom and was well attended. The collections, sale of building material, tea, &c, realized about £70. The building, when completed, will cost about £325. The plans were prepared by Messrs Garlick & Co, architects, Adelaide: contractors, Messrs T Pritchard and J G Johnson.
The size of the building is 36 x 25 inside: height of walls from floor to ceiling, 15ft: the porch in front is 9 x 8 inside.
The church stands near the Merriton Bridge on a piece of land presented by Mr Davidson. Ref: Port Pirie Recorder and North Western Mail (SA) Wednesday 3 April 1901.
*The ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the new Methodist Church at Merriton, in the Crystal Brook and Redhill circuit, took place yesterday afternoon. There was a huge gathering from all parts of the circuit. Mrs W H Binney, of Rocky River, one of the earliest residents of the district, was chosen to lay the stone, and the ladies connected with the United Church at Merriton presented her with a silver trowel, suitably inscribed. The Rev J B Stephenson, of Port Pirie, chairman of the northern district, and the circuit ministers, the Revs W W Finch and G W Kendrew, gave addresses. A public tea followed, and a concert was given in the public school in the evening. The proceedings were of a satisfactory character, and great interest was taken in the event. The architects for the new building are Messrs Garlick and Jackman, of Adelaide, and the contractors Messrs T Pritchard and F G Johnson, of Crystal Brook. Ref: Adelaide Observer (SA) Saturday 6 April 1901.
*The memorial stone of the Methodist Church, Merriton, was laid by Mrs W H Binney on the 26th.
The amount laid on the stone, sale of materials from the old churches, Rocky River and Merriton, tea and collection realized nearly £70.
There was the deepest possible interest taken in the whole affair which augurs well for the success of the united congregation. Ref: Laura Standard (SA) Friday 5 April 1901.
*Opening - On Sunday the opening services in connection with the Methodist Church at Merriton were celebrated. The Rev V Roberts conducted three services to full and overflowing congregations. The afternoon services were held outside, as it was impossible to get more than half those present inside the church. On Wednesday a tea and public meeting was held, and people from all parts of the district were present. Tea was provided in a large booth erected alongside the church, and so great was the crowd that the ladies were kept going for three hours. Large numbers could not get into the meeting, and supper, which was afterwards served, continued for two hours. The total amount collected for tea and supper was £23. A vote of thanks was passed to all who had contributed to the success of the meeting. The building is one of the prettiest in the northern areas, and reflects great credit on the architect, and on the contractors, Messrs Pritchard & Johnson. The total cost was £500, £140 of which has been met by using material from the old churches of Merriton and Rocky River, and by material provided by the farmers. The cedar pews were given by the old BC Church, Crystal Brook, and the rostrum and platform came from the Primitive Methodist Church, Redhill. This left the Merriton people with £300 to provide, and they have succeeded in raising by subscription and special efforts £190. The church is lighted with acetylene-gas. Ref: Advertiser (Adelaide SA) Monday 1 July 1901.
*A Prosperous Church, Merriton. March 29
As the result of the special effort made last Christmas, when a successful continental and bazaar were held in Mr G Miller's picturesque grounds, the Methodist circuit gave the Merriton church the privilege of using the proceeds of the harvest thanksgiving services to whatever purpose they desired. Accordingly, the chief movers determined in view of the bountiful harvest, reaped last season, to make a bold bid to raise sufficient money to pay off the whole of the interest-bearing debt on the church, £125. With this object, services were held on Sunday, and Monday. A large congregation assembled at the morning service on Sunday and anxiously awaited the arrival of the esteemed pastor (Rev R H Lee).
At the last moment a messenger arrived post haste to state that Mr Lee had been suddenly taken so ill as to be unable to attend. Great disappointment was felt. In the evening, failing the arrival of minister, Mr Hicks, of the Waterworks Department, filled the breach and gave an excellent address. The collections on Sunday amounted to £13. One anonymous donor placed a £10 note in the box. On Monday there was a large gathering under the presidency of Mr W H Binney. The speakers were the Rev W Curwood, and Messrs Symons and Treloar. The treasurer read his report, and concluded with an appeal to the company not to depart till all the money required was subscribed. He had already £91 promised and wanted volunteers for the remaining £34. As an additional inducement, Mr Dennis, the mortgagee, offered to forego the outstanding interest if the whole were subscribed that night. Under the inspiring energy of Mr Kelly and the Chairman, offers of various sums came from different parts of the building and gradually brought the goal nearer, till only 30/ was required. This immediately came from one hand. A supper, provided by the ladies, was held. Ref: Register (Adelaide SA) Thursday 31 March 1904.
*Merriton August 28
The annual picnic in connection with the Merriton Methodist Sunday school was held on Wednesday. Chief interest centred in a football match between Merriton and Clement's Gap. A fierce gale of wind blew right across the ground. The game resulted in a win for the home team by one behind to nothing. Tea and public meetings followed in the church. Ref: The Register (Adelaide SA) Thursday 30 August 1906.
*The Silver Jubilee of the first church built after Methodist union was celebrated at Merriton on March 28 and 29. This church is a union church in more senses than one, for the Bible Christian church at Merriton and the Wesleyan church at Rocky River were both demolished and the stone used in building the present church at Merriton. The seats in the present building come from the Bible Christian church at Crystal Brook, and the pulpit from the Primitive Methodist church at Redhill. But in a deeper sense it is a truly union church, as will be seen from the details of the first meeting held in the church at Merriton on May 7, 1900. The late Rev W W Finch, supported by Rev G W Kendrew, presided over a meeting of 54 persons. The following resolution was proposed by Mr T Marshall (now of Crystal Brook), seconded by the late Mr John Miller MP, and carried unanimously—"That this meeting affirms the desirability of building a new church at or near Merriton township to meet the urgent requirements of the congregations worshipping at Merriton and Rocky River.
The present Church buildings are in a very dilapidated condition, and would require immediate repairs, which outlay would not be needed in the event of a central church being erected.
Thus the start was made for the erection of the first Methodist church after union. A very strong Trust was formed with Mr R M Dennis as secretary (a position he held for 23 years). The plans of the church were drawn by Mr T Hicks, who supervised the erection of the building, the contractors being Messrs F G Johnson and T Pritchard. The foundation stone was laid on March 26, 1901, by Mrs W H Binney, and the minister especially invited to take part was Rev J B Stephenson. The church was opened on Sunday, June 23, 1901. On the following Wednesday, June 26, a tea and public meeting was held.
In June, 1909, a lecture hall was erected and opened free of debt, the ministers present being Revs W J Walker and D B Bridgwood.
The "Silver Jubilee" held on March 28 and 29 was a great success. The church was crowded on each occasion, old friends from all parts of the State being present. The choir was largely composed of old members, with Mrs A McDonald, of Snowtown, at the organ. Rev Vivian Roberts conducted both services on the Sunday. Anthems were given at each service, and solos rendered by Mrs Roberts. On the Monday a tea, public meeting, and supper was held. Supper followed the meeting, and a very successful and interesting celebration was brought to a close. Ref: Australian Christian Commonwealth (SA) Friday 3 July 1903.

Plinth relief. Sculptor: Harry Bates, 1916.
The most dramatically positioned statue in Glasgow, perched above the steep slope of Kelvingrove Park, with the grandeur of Park Circus behind.
Frederick Sleigh Roberts (1832-1914), Field Marshall Earl Roberts, a popular military leader, died of pneumonia after visiting the front line early in the Great War.
The original for this statue was erected in Calcutta (Kolkata) in 1898. It was the suggestion of Lord Roberts' widow that the Glasgow memorial should be a duplicate of the Calcutta statue. By this time Harry Bates had also died, but his widow agreed to the casting of another copy. In 1924 a further replica of the Calcutta original was produced for Horse Guards' Parade in London.
I knew an old chap forty odd years ago who would walk up to this statue every day with his decrepit, smelly spaniel, The spaniel would widdle on the plinth, and the pair would then stagger home again. I asked him why they never varied their destination, and he said that in 1914 he had waved Lord Robert off at Waverley Station.

Those screens (écrans cathodiques) were said to be unsafe for pregnant women. The rays could kill your fetus if you refused to wear the protective apron supplied by the company. The protective apron was thick and heavy like those worn by radiologists.
I think I was around a year and a half old here, which means it was taken sometime in late 1975 or early 1976.
This color position light signal guarded the railroad crossing at Metcalf, IL until it and the automatic interlocking were replaced during Summer 2008.
Strobist: set at ISO 400 and 1/250 with an orange gel. Triggered with CLS. Setup shot on the bottom.
I might do this again as I didn't get the background as dark as I would've liked. I'll first try by increasing the distance from the book to the background, then fish around for a more mute background, any other ideas?
