Description: This image was originally titled “Seaforth Boy’s Home circa 1948”, and was from the Salvation Army Heritage Museum WA. The description of the photo included the information: “the typed caption reads in part, ‘Seaforth Boy’s Home – circa 1948 I counted 73 boys + driver.'” and that the photo was originally called “Young Australians”.
In 2025, the Find & Connect web resource was contacted by a former resident of both Seaforth Boys Home and the Salvation Army Home in Nedlands, who identified this photo as being taken at Nedlands not Seaforth. It is also likely this photograph was taken in the 1950s, not around 1948 as initially identified.
With the closure of the Salvation Army Heritage Museum WA in 2023, the whereabouts of the original photograph are unknown. The Salvation Army Museum in Melbourne holds a digital copy of this photograph however no additional information is attached to it.
