Title
A Soldiers' Home, South Australia, with a picket fence in the foreground
Description

This photo depicts a soldiers' home with a picket fence in the foreground. The sequence GN02062 to GN02091 inclusive refers to 'Soldiers' Homes' at Colonel Light Gardens, with the dates being given variously as 1917, 1918 and 1920. The first homes constructed at Colonel Light Gardens were not completed until 1922. Nor were they 'Soldiers' Homes'. Several photographs in the series show a factory in the background. Others show telegraph poles in front of the houses. There was no factory at Colonel Light Gardens and there the telegraph lines (and other services) usually ran along lanes at the back of the houses. By 1918, if not before, the State Government was financing homes for returned soldiers through the State Bank. 'The Advertiser' of 18 April 1919, p. 8, refers to soldiers' homes being built at Croydon. Other references to 'Soldiers' Homes' in the Glass Negatives collection put them at Keswick (GN03920A) and Galway Gardens (now called Kurralta Park), e.g. GN04910.

The reference to Colonel Light Gardens in the original title has been deleted accordingly.
