Lantern slide. Showing the obelisks of Hatshepsut and Thuthmose I at Karnak. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. The notes from his lecture read 'The obelisk of Queen Hattisu at Karnak which is of equal size to this, was quarried out and despatched and erected in seven months from the time at which the order for it was given....'. This view is similar to EC1749.
Argentina jersey of flanker Carlos Neyra from 1976 tour of Wales and England. Blue and white stripes with Argentinian puma badge on breast. Black number '6' on back.
Mrs. Mary Dulcibella Thomas (née Eden) (1834 – 1909) with her second daughter Miss Dulcibel Thomas (1872-1951) outside the drawing room window at Glanmor House, Sketty, Swansea. (The Edens were trusted managers at Vivian and Sons Ltd. The site of Glanmor House is now Long Oaks Court near Myrtle Grove and Glanmor Park Road.) Mrs. Thomas was the second wife of Illtid Thomas (1812 – 89) and Isabel, their eldest daughter, was the first of their children to get married. Frank got on well with his sister-in-law Dulcie and she was a welcome guest on adventurous continental motoring trips.

Lantern slide. Showing the Hathor temple at Dendera. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. The notes from his lecture read 'The south or rear wall of Dendera Temple. The reliefs represent the famous Cleopatra and her son Caesarion 'whose father was Julius Caesar' worshipping Hathor and Isis, also a large Hathor head now much damages'. On the rear of the temple is a depiction of Cleopatra VII and her son.
Molly (Mary) is sitting on a side wall while Frank stands holding a gate on the path leading from the kitchen garden of his stables [1] toward the terraced orchard and woodland of Cwmdu below. Mary would later become the owner of Glynteg following her marriage. The iron gate survives to this day in the Author’s garden.
Fig. 3: Swansea Physicists outside the department in the late 1950s. Professor G.P. Thomson (visiting Nobel Laureate) is seated, second from the left, and on his left is Professor Frank Llewellyn Jones. Professor (then Dr.) Colyn Grey Morgan is standing behind, and slightly to the left of Thomson.
Lantern slide. Showing the west colonnade at the temple of Nectanebus at the south end of the Island of Philae. This photograph was taken by Sgt. Johnson of the 436 Welsh Field Company c. 1917. It formed part of a lecture which he gave. The notes from his lecture read 'The thirtyone columns here with fine capitals still support parts of the roof, decorated with vultures with spread wings and stars, while the outer wall decorated with numerous reliefs is mainly intact. Toward the north end of the Colonnade is a well preserved inscription on the wall which states that a certain Ammonius fulfilled a vow made to Isis, Serapis and other gods by presenting to them the worship of his brother and children in the Thirty-first year of Caesar Augustus. Beneath the colonnade is a passage descending to the water which was used as a Nilometer.' This is a similar view to negative EC1705 and to EC1714.
The total percentage dividend payable on ordinary share capital (as compiled in Table 2 of Peter Jackson’s book [4, p. 245]) is plotted in blue for each financial year. No dividend was paid in 1903 and 1904 to allow profits to be re-invested in new plant, which repaid handsomely over the next few years. In contrast, after 1920 profits dwindled and there are no records of dividend payments after 1925.
Frank’s increasing involvement with establishing the University College of Swansea is indicated below the time axis from 1916 onwards, with his two periods as President after the Foundation on 19th July 1920 shown by the solid red line.
