Apologies if this has been posted here, but Ned Kelly was an Australian Bushranger (outlaw, bandit) who was shot and killed. He was/is hugely famous here and you may know him for forging iron armour to protect himself from gunfire. Well, he was a hipster well before his time! He looks like a barista at a hip paddock to plate cafe/restaurant in Surry Hills...

You are incorrect Ned Kelly was shot but not killed he was sentenced and hanged - his supposed last words prior to his execution were " such is life" he was buried in an unmarked grave at Pentridge prison in Melbourne Victoria and has recently be discovered during excavation and the now closed prison. His family have requested same be returned to them for burial at Glenrowan

Was circumcision common in the 20s?

it was for Jewish men....Herman Wouk wrote in Winds of War that Byron was circumcised- a Christian college student in 1939- so I guess it was gaining acceptance in other areas as well.
