The comradeship and cooperation developed by the troops during wartime should be applied in civilian life to the development of Australia.

The camera was purchased in 1920 and used up to the 1940's when her her daughter, Midge Clooney used it. When the Shefford family emigrated from England to Australia (1953), it was used to take photos of the ship voyage.This item is a Campfire Box Brownie. Model "F".
