It also has photographs of all who served, and when those who returned resumed with the bank. The problem is - it does not give their service numbers, and only their state - not what bank they were at when they enlisted, or what bank they returned to. And it is Australia-wide. So you nearly need to be sitting with the book beside you as you go through your database, then do a lot of cross-checking. The National Bank historian tells me it is not rare, and there are a lot of copies around.<br /><br />Have you seen it?Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205010291496207355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474786767930983135.post-9727239019605528702010-05-14T15:30:54.067+10:002010-05-14T15:30:54.067+10:00Isn't that wonderful!

We notified that we had material about two Gallipoli casualties in our collection. Back came the information on them, including photographs, which allowed us to identify a large, framed photograph of one of them, that was previously listed as "Unknown Soldier".<br /><br />Thank You Kim and LenoreLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205010291496207355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6474786767930983135.post-90976710088250530532010-05-08T10:47:58.576+10:002010-05-08T10:47:58.576+10:00Yes but .....
