A long fragmented page mentions congratulating A S Thetic as first to print at a public display, discusses wartime defence, nursing trainee schemes, and volunteers for military and civilian service. It references the Australian government, hospital work, and Brisbane tramway plans, with scattered notes on civilians and family records.
