Wounded Serviceman's Convalescent Scheme

By providing the service to care for our wounded soldiers returned to Australia, Mr. Ken Bromley and the Wounded Servicemen's Convalescent Scheme are to be sincerely thanked. Always contributing towards high morale, the scheme maintained perfect unison with the Anzac spirit.

We were never far from the thoughts of our older brother and his steady assistance was genuinely appreciated by the members of the young Fourth.
