Armistice Day 11 November 1918 – Townsville celebrations

Below is a photograph I found in the Townsville Bulletin 11 Nov 2000, when a news story appeared recalling the end of World War I.  Abraham Wilson was involved in the celebrations, dressing up as the Kaiser in the photograph below.

Contrary to popular belief in the family, Abraham’s son Henry is not in the photograph above (confirmed by Henry himself).

 

Note:   The above photograph is now kept in Archives held at James Cook University, and copies can be purchased from the University.  I cannot provide copies of this photo, I don’t own the copyright, and I include it on this website purely as part of documenting family history research.
