Historical information

Photocopy of an article written by Ian Anderson (past president of Melbourne Legacy) for the Victorian Historical Magazine, 149th issue, August 1967, which was taken from his address to the Society on Tuesday 23 May 1967.
It describes the founding of Legacy and the role of founding legatees. It summarises the work Legacy was doing with finding work for returned servicemen, and then focusing more on looking after the needs of war widows and their children.
The magazine is available at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, but has not yet been digitised to read on line. In the article Legatee Anderson condenses the information published in "The Torch", "There goes a Man" and "Legacy: the first Fifty Years".
