Description

Extracts made 1927 by T. H. Heyes (probably Tasman Hudson Heyes) the Australian Representative at the British Historical Section Committee of Imperial Defence. Heyes notes in a letter to the Director, Australian War Memorial, 25 August 1927 on file AWM93 0012/0011/0238 "The extracts are not particularly important, but I have given them as they throw a little light on the spirit of comradeship which existed among the members and units of the A.I.F."
