  "Mann ... at Plumstead, Narrandera. Edward P. Mann, formerly of the 92nd Gordon highlanders and fifth son of the late General C. Mann, Royal Engineers, aged 75 years" -- undated [1897 ?] obituary newsprint attached to the lower edge of the photograph
  
  "It is not often that four brothers in one [family] adopt the same profession, and extremely [rare] when that profession is the military service of their country, to find them all hearty after passing the prescribed threescore years and ten. Such, however, is the case in one family in Sydney, the quartet having been completed when General Mann, R.E., arrived a few months ago on a visit to his brother, Captain Gother K. Mann, late of the Indian Artillery, the eldest of the four. These brothers had not met for 60 years, the time when the eldest had first joined his regiment. The fact sounds like a romance; but the photograph of the group recently taken and the living presence of the four soldiers confirm the statement." -- newsprint filed on the first page of the fascicle
