Hi Jamie. I have some photos of servicemen taken on Tarakan during WW2. On the back of one of the photos, are the names are Shepherd, Barrett, Curly and Spike. I have found the service numbers for Shepherd and Barrett. Clearly the last two are going to be a little more challenging! I was actually wondering if Curly might be your father. I have been searching extensively online, and this website, and your message, hopefully, I have the right person.
I found these photographs in a box of family photos that my mother had. I am 100% sure that none of the men in these photos are related, so I don't really know why I have the photos. The only correlation I can find, is that my family are from Melbourne, as are yours.
I have attached the photos and wonder if you could maybe confirm?
I am really interested in discovering who these men were, and perhaps that will lead me to the owner (or family) of them, so I can return them.
Kind regards & hope to hear from you soon.
Barbara
