  • Post Card– Reverse of the group photo from the owner of the photo. WO George Stockwell was my mother's brother. I have a postcard that he sent home and it's that group photo of his crew. On the back he wrote their names - although he used nicknames for some. The man in the front they called "Digger" and the unnamed man in the back is Ed somebody - and I think I may be able to find out his full name. I've attached both photos.
