Description

Poems, 'No Foe Shall Gather Our Harvest' and 'Singapore', by Dame Mary Gilmore and spoken by Lloyd Lamble. Dame Mary Gilmore appears on the Australian ten dollar note, along with the final two lines of the poem 'No Foe Shall Gather Our Harvest'. This shellac record is one of six recordings made for Dame Mary Gilmore by the Australian Record Company. In 1942 Dame Mary Gilmore gave a copy to Joan Watson, nee White, whose brother Lieutenant Anthony White NX35100 was missing in action at the time. Lt White, of the 2/20th Battalion, had become a prisoner of war. Upon his return to Australia Joan gave her brother the record that Dame Mary Gilmore had given to her.
