75th Anniversary (2:1940)

 

Day 2 of our commemoration of the end of World War 2, focusing today on 1940.

Firstly with a list of the events around the world during the year.

 

 And two articles from the Wimmera Mail Times illustrating the depth of feeling in the community.

 

In March initial excitement was high as the town farewelled the first of its volunteers, by June however, the Mayor Cr. Wilmoth was disappointed with turnouts.
