I have a photo of my mum, who was born in 1925, in exactly the same hat with the same haircut. It could well be 1928 IMO.

Cheers,

China  - if that is about 1928 that makes the bloke about 25 - is that right do you think?? 

He's pretty relaxed without collar and tie isn't he.   ;)

I think he looks a bit older than 25, but he may have lived a hard life and look older than his years.  ;)

I would like to ask thurgood, if William emigrated to Australia, when he did so. This may help with dating the photo. Also, is the chap in the photo definitely identified as William Wood?

Been trying to see what the badge is that he is wearing in his lapel - but the resolution isn't good enough!
