Summary

A 'recruiting window' for the A.I.F. in John Martin's Rundle Street store featuring a large military fist holding a smoking red swastika branding iron, about to brand a group of people. It caused a great deal of interest at the time and a number of people contacted the watchman thinking the window was on fire owing to the artificial smoke created. [From scrapbook 24].
