The Cloncurry Advocate report covers the Assila Sub-Branch meeting at the Prince of Wales Hotel with officers elected for the Diggers Race Club and Anzac Day plans. It notes memorial ceremonies, luncheon in the Shire Hall, and a Citizens Memorial Service, plus proposed Mother’s Day observance details and a call to purchase Anzac badges.
The Cloncurry district mourns two pioneers, Alexander Kennedy and another long-time settler, as both have died in Brisbane and New South Wales respectively. Kennedy, aged around 98 or over, helped form and run several stations, survived droughts and floods, and shared memories of early Queensland life. His passing follows the death of his wife, and three sons survive.
