The photo is of Austin Gollaher, Lincoln's friend who saved 7 year old Lincoln from drowning. In 1866 Ned Kelly at age 10 rescued his 7 year old friend Richard Shelton from drowning and Richard's dad gave Ned a green sash out of gratitude for his bravery. Ned wore the sash under his amour until he died.

What a shame, Laurie ... so close ... you can have a shower now though.
