TSS Thermistocles 1924 England to Australia via The Cape
« on: Wednesday 13 December 17 03:50 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone

I have a photo in my collection which was taken on-board the TSS Thermistocles in September 1924 from England to Australia, via The Cape, which I assume was Cape Town, South Africa. In the photo is my great grandparents, my great uncles and I also know my grandfather was on-board. All are deceased now. I wanted to post the photo in here, and see if anyone else had ancestors that were on-board and are possibly in this photo.

My ancestors are third from the left (standing), the child on the right and the woman that is almost cut out on the far right looking away from the camera, and the first from the left (sitting).

Is anyone else's ancestors in this photo?

Not a very clear photo, but it does have a few names
