.....28th......April.......19341.

 

Dear Mr. Allsop

In the year 1914 a vision of noble endeavour, [[?]] revelation

of the hidden possibilities of our nature, broken before the

Australian people in the Soldiers subsequently named the Anzacs,

and again young Australians are reaching towards a goal, an ideal

which humanity must surely eventually reach.
