Topic: 'Heroine of the Home Front'

Guest Speakers: Brenton Whittle

This is the story that weaves together World War I, Australia Day 1918, and the tireless efforts of one South Australian woman, whose dedication on the home front deserves to be remembered and honoured — even more than 100 years later.

 From a small room above Sands & McDougall on King William Street, she directed work that made a lasting impact.
