Y A L Boys Overseas Tour Report From 1912
A detailed, largely affectionate circular from J J Simons dated January 21 1912 recounts the Y A L Boys overseas tour from San Francisco to Victoria and back. It notes city by city visits in Oregon Washington and British Columbia with large local crowds and official receptions in Portland Olympia Vancouver and other centers. It praises supportive officials including the Governor of Washington and F P Nalder of the State Education Department, mentions naval yard tours in Seattle and a Christmas in Vancouver with a white snowfall, and outlines future travel hopes toward New York and possible return to Australia with Canadian Cadets invited in to visit capital cities the following winter. The letter highlights performances 54 shows in 149 nights and the aim to balance schedules with the boys’ health while acknowledging Mr Jeffrey’s key planning and a life-saving incident in Marysville California.
