Diary of Sergeant H. E. Clark
Transcript version of a diary kept by Sergeant Harold Clark, from his departure from Australia in July 1916 to 19 January 1917, printed as a pamphlet by Scrymgour & Sons, Adelaide. 'Accompanying the pamphlet diary are two official printed cards achieved in manuscript, one recording Harold Clark's death in action on 3-3-17 and his place of burial (Warlencourt British Cemetery; Location Mem. Plot Cross No. 6 Row C; Nearest Railway Station or Town Arras), the other recording the death in action on 24-4-18 of [a cousin] Lance Corporal Andrew Douglas Clark, 43rd Battalion A.I.F. and his place of burial (Bonnay Communal Cemetery, Plot 1 Row B Grave 31; Nearest Railway Station or Town Amiens). The presence of these two cards announcing the cousins' death in action, the printing of this memorial piece in Adelaide, rather than Melbourne where Harold's parents lived, and the pristine state of the piece, strongly suggest that Elizabeth Clarke was responsible for the publication and that this copy descends ultimately from her. The front wrapper repeats the title with some additions: Gallipoli 1916 :: France 1917 / Diary of the Late Sergt. H.E. Clark / Late 27th Battalion A.I.F. / Killed in Action in France March 3, 1917. / He Gave His All - His Life. [From auction catalogue.]

The deck of a tug which had been sent to rescue and salvage the tug 'Nyora' lost at sea off Cape Jaffa; the only relic is a large bucket. The schooner 'Aurora' follows as the vessels return to Port Adelaide. A researcher has suggested that the ship in the foreground is the SS 'Yarra', an 89 metre long cargo steamship which had been sent from Port Adelaide to find the Auxiliary Schooner 'Astoria', which is seen in tow. The 'Astoria' was being towed from Port Pirie to Sydney by the Steam Tug 'Nyora', when the Nyora foundered in heavy seas near Cape Jaffa on Monday 9 July 1917. The 'Astoria' was unable to render aid, but arrived safely in Guichien Bay, near Robe, where it was found by the SS 'Yarra'. The 'Yarra' picked up wreckage of the lost 'Nyora' but found no survivors.

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).
