Do You Know These People?

You'll need to click on the link to see the actual photo of the unknown dog show winner (Unidentified bulldog and two men). I'm sure they'd love to hear from you if you do actually know any of the people or the dog.

This column has a shameless policy of reprinting gratuitously lovely or quaint or intriguing pictures (especially if they have dogs in them) irrespective of any relevance they might have to anything.

These two old black-and-white pictures were part of a show of photographs of past Queanbeyan projected on to a big screen inside that city's Royal Hotel at a function a few days ago after the opening of the city's Honour Walk.

The photograph of the shooters with their trophy (probably for their shooting but conceivably for their moustaches) was shown first with the caption ''Unknown Champions'' (because, Gillian Kelly, the curator of Queanbeyan's museum, explains, we don't have the foggiest idea who they are or when they were photographed). Then came the picture of the dog with the witty caption ''Another Unknown Champion.'' If either photograph rings any bells, do please tell us.

Another photo shows a riflemen, date and names unknown.

It's said we become more and more like our dogs and Kelly draws our attention to the eerie resemblances (in the faces and the physiques) of the three figures, one dog and two chaps, in the mystery snap.
