Informal portrait of three Allied servicemen, left to right: Telegraphist Jack Selvage; Petty Officer/Telegraphist Pat O'Brien of England and Flinders Naval Depot (HMAS Cerberus); PM6949 Signalman Bryan Richards of HMAS Lonsdale, outside the Coonara Spring Tea Gardens. They were guests of Mr and Mrs Tom Rose who on a regular basis, often three times a week, entertained many servicemen who were visiting Melbourne between 1940 and 1948. They would collect the men, often in groups of three, and drive them to the Dandenongs, hotels or theatres in the city, their home in Malvern or Flemington racecourse where the men would be their guests for the day. Often they would take photographs of the men and send a print to them afterwards. (Original print housed in AWM Archive Store and related material held in AWM Private Records)
