Dedication
War Widows Guild of Australia (QLD.)
Founded 1947
"It is no mean destiny to be called upon to go on for a man who laid down his life."
"We all belong to each other
We all need each other
It is in serving each other
And in sacrificing for our common good
That we are finding our true life."
