Who do you think they are?...please help us identify these mystery photographs

Whilst we are able to put names to faces for many of the photographs in the ODFHS collection, there are some which remain a mystery.  Can you help us to identify anyone in these photographs?  If you can provide information about the date, location, occasion or subject, please email the ODFHS Librarian macdonald6465[at]gmail.com
