Couple more pages and he did put captions on most if not all his photos in both albums which is great.

For example Darcy Reeve (died in an accident 1916, Hounslow) has quite a bit on Rutland Memorial, eg
Attachment 170111 EDIT not sure if this is the same man because Bucheister didn't leave Australia till 1918 so maybe inherited some of these photos?
