From Ian Granland.
My family is from Redan. I recently found a 1921 Redan State School football photo that I thought you might be interested in. My father is in the image: middle row, left - Charlie Granland. He was born in 1908 and lived in Bell Street. I don't know any of the others. It was a bit damaged but I did my best to tart it up for you. Hope it helps. Photographer is Hornsby Studio
