On Anzac Day we all went to the service and opening of the monument in High-street, where all the soldiers and sailors, played their bugles and band. Archbishop Riley and Sir William Campion came from Perth to address the service. They stood near a kind of loud-speaker, so that when they spoke the echo of their voices went into the opening, and the people could hear what the men who addressed the meeting were saying more distinctly. Did you go away for the week's vacation in April? I did not. but my brother Ernest went to Penguin Island with the cubs: he is the second head boy cub in Fremantle.
