Cataloguing Continues

Cataloguing continues. We were recently chuffed to reach the three thousand items in the database milestone.

One of the items recently received and catalogued is a framed portrait of Charles Christie STEWART, who was killed in action in Belgium in 1917. The portrait is especially poignant to us as it came from the family of Jim STEWART, his nephew, who himself recently passed away. Jim was a councillor at the first meeting of the Society.

And the Society already hold C.C. STEWART's personal effects, returned to his family from Belgium.

A seminar for those researching soldiers of World War I, will be held at Old Gippstown on 11 September.
