Historical information

Dugout Night is an annual event where Legatees gather and enjoy the company of fellow Legatees ("comradeship"), usually in April, close to Anzac Day. A dugout in wartime provides protection for soldiers from small arms fire, artillery bombardment and attack from the air.
The sign could have been made to publicise Dugout night or most likely as a caption for photographs of the event displayed at Legacy House.

Significance

Legatees supported each other by coming together for various events throughout the year. Dugout night was an annual gathering where Legatees could socialise together.
