Brief Description
Small black and white photograph taken during the 1956 Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, possibly in the Olympic Village. Four people are standing in front of a shop that has a French sign.

The person looking down at something in their hand is probably Hilda Gallpen, Olympic Volunteer Scout.
