Venue: Mitchell Theatre, 1st Floor, Sydney Mechanics’’ School of Arts, 280 Pitt St, Sydney DRESS: Jacket Tie and Medals A number of photos will be taken on the night with the hope there are some GP ones e.g. Corps to be used in the book. We also plan to have some medallions and other stock available for sale the plan is to send you a list and we will have the orders made up for your collection for your collection that night. For example you may not have bought one type of medallion as you did not have a relative that qualified e.g. the Special Farce that was formed quickly to take control of German NG in 1914, made up of militia and Naval Reserve members from Victoria etc. We sold out all of these medallions to a tour operator who was taking a group to PNG. See our web page, this will be a chance to use PayPal. Suggest before you do that wait until we send out our special sale list which will have some good deals on it. That will be emailed to you by 21/10/19. We look forward to meeting you on this special night.
