The following pages show the Tramways Board, Melbourne Employees who enlisted for Active Service.

  1. Oh Well Found!

    On a quick look, my first response is I can only see two clerks, and the rest were blue collar workers. Which contrasts with the number enlisting from the National Bank. Surely they had a large head office? Yet none of them have enlisted????

  2. An interesting thought. I can see five clerks - but I expect that most of the folks at the head office would be older men. And enlistment wasn't universal, of course. There was quite a bit of resistence to registration for military service.
