I've just spoken with her and she is very excited!  I've sent her a link to this thread so that she can read all about the wonderful work rootschatter's have done.

Great news Karen, well done!  It will probably be some time before we hear more from her - so much to read and take in

I wasn't joking when I sent the link to an Author I know and love. She wrote the Phryne Fisher mysteries and also the Corinna Chapman books. I thought it would make a wonderful plot for a book.

Yes, huge well done Karen.

However, the airport should hold out for a closer relative of which there are some but we have been unable to contact due to privacy issues.

As long as we can show the airport that we are on the right track and this type of research can't always be done in a few hours, the rightful owners of the bear are sure to be found.

AND A RECAP OF THE INSCRIPTION ON THE BACK

"
Taken on Baby's birthday, March 4th 1918.
one year & 5 months old."

I have been a bit curious as to the last line. I wonder if it actually means that it was added to the back of the  photograph one year & 5 months after the message to Daddie.  Maybe that's why the words are upside down to the rest of the writing.

Perhaps the photo was  sent to Daddie and when his personal effects came back - with the photo - the rest was written down.
