Description
Sydney, NSW. c. 1917. Group portrait of workers of the Wireless Comforts Fund Committee on the verandah of the building where they had rooms in the city. Some of the women are holding parcels, one of which is addressed to 7672 Corporal Jason Clarence Smith, 1st Wireless Signal Squadron, Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force. The original caption reads: `In addition the wireless shared in consignments forwarded by the larger and better-known organisations. These shipments were the more appreciated on the Mesopotamian front by virtue of the impossibility of buying much in the way of foodstuffs locally'. (Donor E. Keast Burke)
