8th of February 1917 sees Trooper Russell and other members of the
21st Reinforcements NZMR gathered at the Featherston Railway Station
bound for Wellington and the Embarkation process. Not sure if
the Lady and Gentleman in the middle pictures are his parents or not.
Middle picture just above shows James on the left with a building in
the background. I suspect this to be the Wellington Railway Station. |

games to keep the men occupied. The last 3 pictures shows the Sydney
Show Grounds where they are staying, the middle picture is a double
exposure and shows some buildings in Sydney. The last photo is a
group picture taken at Lawler's Tea Rooms unfortunately we do
not have a copy of this shot. |
