'The Willows' was situated on a small farm of c13 acres with a creek running through it, lined with willows.

J B Maling trained his six sons as builders. Charles Henry and his family are pictured in this photo. Charles Henry Maling (1875-1953) married Katherine Mitchell (1875-1958) in 1901. They lived at 9 Benson Street, Surrey Hills but came to live at 'The Willows' for 5 years prior to 1931 to care for Charles' father.

Their great gallantry set a splendid example of coolness to their men." (Signed) C.
