Gloucester War Chest Fund Meeting Remains Active
The Gloucester District Patriotic War Chest Fund held a Friday night meeting at the School of Arts. Plans were approved to form a ladies committee to supply comforts for AIF overseas, with cigarettes and tobacco noted as high value. A roll of all district volunteers for overseas service will be compiled, and local support was urged amid public apathy. Proceeds from the Masonic Ball and jam parcels were pledged to the War Chest, plus a Newcastle Concert Party and a film screening proposal to boost funds. Captain G. D. Mitchell will bring the film We Are the AIF to Brisbane and arrange local screenings. The meeting was chaired by P. Dearda with several officers and members present.
