Several familiar faces from my mother's prewar album. Not all were nurses. Standing centre I believe is piano teacher Alvena Laihovetsky aged about 20. I particularly recognise the girl at far left and and the girl next to Alvena. Will try to find their names. Seated second from left would be Elena Laihovetsky, secretary, aged about 18. Will dig out some of my mother's similar pics. - Geoff Wellstead

Geoff, just curious if you managed to identify any of the others?

Michael - regrettably no.
Curious though to receive an email from your cousin recently seeking to make contact with you. He used an anglicised Russian rendering of my aunt's and mother's maiden surname as 'Layhovezkaya', which suggests he is a predominantly Russian-speaker whereas I have presumed you to be in Australia given your father lived latterly on the Northern Beaches.
