Welcome to Sergt Charles Stewart at MacGregor Club
The Stove Club hosted a wartime welcome for Sergt Charles Edward Stewart, returning from the front. Rev J Walker chaired, Rev C G A Littler gave an address, and a musical program with solos, pianoforte pieces, a recitation, and contests followed, ending with the National Anthem. The message praised Stewart and his family for service to the Empire and expressed hopes for his continued contribution and safe return. A note mentions his intention to continue in munition work, with wishes for a peaceful postwar future. The piece closes noting a previously averted CPR strike, with concessions made by both sides.
