Officers' Mess
We're not sure of the event, but the first two photos are accessioned 1958 - Commanding Officers & wives. That would be Brigadier & Mrs Theo Dumoulin, Lieutenant-Colonel & Mrs Jackson, Honorary Colonel Aenus & Mrs Bell Irving, unknown gentleman and Lieutenant-Colonel (ret) & Mrs Ken Beckett. The 3rd photo has no date but certainly appears to match the others! Could this be the Spring Formal referred to in the invite?
