A tree belonging to "GrahamDellar" on Ancestry has a not very good photo of him (just his head and neck) at a wedding in 1922.

But I expect your contact already has that.

There's also a photo of (presumably) him in military uniform on a scan of a printed page.
It seems to be some sort of celebration document for servicemen safely returned from WW1 - in a tree owned by "oldnomad1"

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Look for his name in ‘search all member trees’ (He is in several)

Or advise the person doing the diploma to use google

Is she planning to use the diploma as a basis for employment as a researcher?

There are some records on FMP for which payment is required

I have received a request from a member of Ancestry, who is undertaking a Diploma in Family History in Tasmania and is writing a biographical essay on Gilbert Dellar. He was born c. 16 Jan 1895 in Jamieson, Victoria, Australia. She is seeking any photographs of him at the Suez Canal or where he might have trained as an electrician after the war? He was a Lance Corporal in the 4th Light Horse Regiment.
If anyone is able to assist, please let me know.
Many thanks
