This is one of the two Wiseman brothers' homes built in Widford Street in 1887. They were named Ashleigh and Sawbridgeworth and were similar. When the Wisemans became bankrupt, with the collapse of the land boom in the 1890s, the houses remained in the estate and were tenanted. At the close of the first world war, both were taken over by the Army as hospitals. This photo is of Ashleigh which became Infectious Diseases Hospital No. 5. Sawbridgeworth was the staff hospital. The photo was taken in 1919. This house was later bought by Thomas Shaw Logan, the well-known auctioneer. On his death, the house was demolished and the property subdivided. The other house, Sawbridgeworth, was bought by the MIssion of St James and St John and then became St. Agnes Girls Home from 1925 until 1963. It was then bought by St. Matthews and is now known as Wiseman House.Black and white photograph (2 copies) of house with hospital flag and people outside.

Les Chandler was always going on nature walks. If he had time off, he would go off and walk into a wood or go and look for bird's nests or chasing butterflies and insects or whatever because he was interested in the whole of nature. hand coloured photofishing, hand coloured, ww1, world war 1, aif, a.i.f

A self-portrait, hand-coloured, of 9886 Private Les Chandler in France in 1916. For many Australians the arrival of snow was initially a great novelty. The appeal quickly wore off. The European winter of 1916. The coldest in decades caused further misery for front line troops. hand coloured photoles chandler, 1916, winter, hand-coloured, ww1, aif, a.i.f, world war 1

Straw effigies of the enemy strung up at Seymour Army Camp for use in bayonet drill. It was this sight and the compulsory instruction in the art of killing other men that so repulsed Les Chandler that he requested a transfer to an ambulance unit where he sought to save lives rather than take them. photoseymour army camp, seymour, target range, target dummies, ww1, world war 1, aif, a.i.f
