Interesting to read about the work they did for the Kangaroos:

The very first community of interest I thought of after realizing what work these chaps had done, was the 1 CAR "Kangaroos" history keepers. I immediately contacted the moderator of FB. Yes, they had a copy already in the archives. No, they did not want another. But, thanks for thinking of them.

It is heart warming to know that three-quarters of a century after the fact, there is still excitement at uncovering unknown (to us at least) material, and grateful for FB and other fora as a way to share.

Further to my last, from Jacques:

Frank's dad repaired tanks in the war. Not quite sure which regiment he was in exactly. Frank's mom was a Belgian war bride. They've both since passed. Frank inherited the books from his dad. I believe the one book has a nominal roll at the back. They misspelled the last name but you'll find a Harry MacKinnon (spelled McKinnon) in the book. That's Frank's dad. I can put you in touch if you want. Frank has been actively following up on the war of late.
