Recruiting Train
[General description] The locomotive of this train has been decorated with flags and sports a British coat-of-arms and Union Jack on its front. Recruiting drives like this came about as the Australian Army did not conscript. Here is part of a newspaper article at the time: 'The Recruiting Train: Mr. Vaughan (Premier of South Australia) said arrangements had been completed for the running of the special recruiting train over the northern and western lines on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday next, and he anticipated that it would prove a great incentive to recruiting. About 12 prominent speakers would travel with the train, together with the Military Camp Band. The secretary of the State War Council (Mr. Victor Ryan) had visited the 19 local committees concerned, and he reported that they were taking up the matter enthusiastically, and big meetings were expected. Tradesmen agreed to close their premises while the meetings were being held. The flour and chaff mills and the wheat agents had promised to suspend operations so as to give the employees an opportunity of attending the meetings. Evening meetings would be held at Port Pirie and Laura on Tuesday, and at Wallaroo and Moonta on Wednesday, and day meetings as follows: Tuesday: Owen, Balaklava, Brinkworth, Georgetown, Gladstone. Wednesday: Crystal Brook, Gulnare, Snowtown, Bute, Kadina. Thursday: Wallaroo Mines, Paskeville, Port Wakefield, Hamley Bridge, Gawler. Where possible provision would be made for the enlistment and medical examination of recruits at the meetings.' This extract is from the following article: 'AUSTRALIA'S NEW ARMY. (1916, March 24).
