This exhibition was compiled by Dr A.M. McVeigh, PRONI.
Except where otherwise notated, all pictures, images, letters, diary extracts, etc, used in this exhibition are held in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. The text has been compiled from a variety of sources including the internet, but the author is especially indebted to Dr Andrew Harrison, who wrote the text of the exhibition catalogue 'Australian Connections' from which several passages have been plagiarised.
