ref. 131661Very Good. A single leaf octavo printed recto only slightly marked with a marginal crease to a top corner; two light horizontal creases where folded for posting; in very good condition. The invitation headed '9th L.H.O.C.A.' 9th Light Horse Old Comrades Association invites members to give a hearty welcome to the old commanding officer Colonel William Henry Scott 1881-1960 who 'will be in Adelaide for a few days this month on a visit to his son'. The date for the event is not given but we suggest some time in the 1920s as Scott 'rose to brigadier in 1929' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Darley writes presumably as president of the association that 'it will be quite informal come along in your working clothes or anyhow you like and you need not get your hair cut for the occasion. If you clean your boots be sure to use NUGGET. Refreshments liquid only will be provided'. The ADB provides the answer to the unasked question: 'Scott contributed items to the "Bulletin" under the pseudonym of "Nugget" an ironic nickname considering his great height'.

The photograph was taken as the landscaping in the front of the building was being undertaken; the horse-drawn roller seems an anachronism against the backdrop of the impressive Art Deco facade.

'Centennial Hall built to celebrate the centenary of the founding of the Colony later State of South Australia and to house the 1936 Centennial Empire Exhibition was opened on 20 March 1936. It was considered to be a significant historical landmark and was one of the few remaining examples of 1930s Art Deco architecture in Adelaide. However the building developed "concrete cancer" and was closed at the end of the 2005 Royal Show because it was unsafe. Demolition of Centennial Hall commenced on Wednesday 18 July 2007' Wikipedia. A huge poster advertising the Centennial Exhibition is visible in this image. D. Darian Smith, Commercial & Aerial Photography unknown

ref. 109418The signatories are a'Beckett Fairfax Grimmett Hurwood Kippax Oldfield and Walker. The signatures were collected by the parents of a five year-old boy when the family travelled on the same ship as the cricketers on the voyage to England in early 1930. The leaves are the first two in an album with the printed image of the ship the Orient Line's SS 'Orford' on the front cover; some of the leaves are held in place with clear paper tape but the overall condition is very good. The page was also signed in pencil by Victor Richardson and again by Walker but the young owner went over these signatures in ink after first having tried to erase the second Walker signature written at right angles along the right-hand side at the end of the other signatures. The balance of the squad's signatures on another page are similarly gone over. However among the seven decent signatures there are some famous names as well as some rare and interesting Test players. Ted a'Beckett played in four Tests; Alec Hurwood played in only two Tests; Charlie Walker toured twice 1930 and 1938 without playing in a Test match due to injuries and he was killed in action in a bombing mission over Germany in 1942. unknown
