Date: 2012
From: Bromhead, Peter, 1933- :Digital cartoons
By: Marlborough Express (Newspaper)
Reference: DCDL-0022292
Description: One vaguely depressed man in a bar asks another how his weekend was. The other replies that he did not win Lotto or Wimbledon 'if that's what you mean...' There were no first prize winners in the high-paying lotto, powerball and strike divisions of the New Zealand Lotto draw of 7 June 2012. The weekend also recorded the surprise win at Wimbledon on 6 July of the Scotsman, Andy Murray, in the singles semifinals, only to lose to Roger Federer in the final on 8 July. A weekend of high hopes and disappointment. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
Photographs of a house called "Duneevan," its grounds, gardens, and family, and soldier...
Date: 1914-1916
From: Beeton, Edith Audrey Mayson, 1890-1980: Photographs of the New Zealand hospital, St George's Hill, Weybridge, England, 1914-1918
Reference: PA1-o-853
Description: Most of the album shows life and leisure persuits at Duneevan and soldiers and nurses at the St George's Hill Military Hospital at Weybridge. There is some connection between the house and the hospital as there are photographs of soldiers boating on the lake or "Broadwater" in the garden at Duneevan. There are four pictures of British troops on their way to Bisley in August 1914 and one of a group of Belgians (presumably refugees). There is no indication that all the soldiers depicted are New Zealanders, and there is only one page specifically headed "New Zealanders". It is possible that Duneevan was the home of the creator of the album, Audrey Beeton who also may have worked as a nurse at the St George's Hill Hospital. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
