Title: Souvenir in Commemoration of the Marriage Between Captain Leonard G. Sewell ... and Miss Elsa Faning at Christ Church, Lancastergate, January 5th 1918.
Description: [London], printed by Burges [1918]. Sheet of creped tissue printed in colour 36x34cm. Folded. ¶ Ugly but impressive - for the printing and its survival. The yellow flowers are presumably wattle. Captain Sewell of the Australian Machine Gun Company - a mining engineer at Mount Morgan before the war - was wounded in France in 1916. His brother died at Gallipoli but Leonard lived on into old age and apparently never returned to Australia.
