Recently we had a visit from the authors of this book who have written about two soldiers from each town in south west WA and what they did on return from the war. There were some great photos displayed on the screen. Rod Kingdon and Harry McGough were our Denmark people. Rod's grandson Peter Kingdon also talked.
Thanks to the RSL for the hall and kitchen and to Jenny Baker and Lorraine Bellas from the DHS for providing the afternoon tea.
