NIMITYBELLE AND DISTRICT BRASS BAND 1910

I only know two of the persons in the photo but other descendants will be able
to identify more. My father, Alphonsus (Alf) Powning is second from left in the
front row and his elder brother Silvester (Sil) Powning is second from left in
the middle row. Six years later my father was in the AIF in the 34th Btn in the
trenches in France after training as a compositor on the Nimitybelle News
newspaper. Perhaps he joined up in one of the Snowy Mountains mens recruiting
marches which passed through Nimitybelle. I was pleased to see their flag in the
Canberra War Memorial museum. I will send a large 2 Megabyte file of the photo
to anyone wanting to have a high definition print made. Anyone wanting the large
file can email me at
Best wishes,
