Christmas Parcels 1918




































As noted, Jack received these tucked into parcels on 23 December 1918.

I wonder what happened to Mrs W H Higman of McLaren Street, North Sydney and (Miss) Juanita Tindale of James Street, Guildford, WA? Did Jack ever write and thank them for their good wishes and to tell them that he did indeed return home safely? Did he tell Mrs Higman that her outsized socks were a great comfort to him (he was a big man)?

I would like to think that he did.

Comments:
What a gem!
 
I have passed these on to the ABC show "Can We Help" to see if they want to research the history of these two ladies after 1918.
