Alastair Sharp-Paul Collection.
The Europeans from left to right as you look at the photo are:
Hugh Dowse, Dr Richard Victor Dowse, Cecily Doudney (nee Lennox-Cunningham), my parents Alan Sharp-Paul and Elizabeth Sharp-Paul, Herbert Doudney, Ellen Dowse.
Team photo from Epalawa Estate, Kegalle, late 1940s. The guy back row third from the left as you look at it was the tæpel-kaarayaa (tapple coolie). He had just delivered the mail and photobombed the pic.
