It was the property of Corporal Harold Smith whose parents reside at 64 Glyde Street, East Fremantle. Corporal Smith was invariably called on to play and sing at camp concerts but it was during the siege of Tobruk that the ukulele and its owner were most in demand. Deciding that the ukulele should be a permanent memento of the battalion, men scratched sketches of three rats at the top of it and then added the words "of Tobruk." From then on members of the unit from officers down to privates inscribed their names back and front of the ukulele until it was fully covered with more than 200 signatures. Ned Ducker, of Spearwood, found the ukulele after Corporal Smith was taken prisoner and recently handed it over to Corporal Smith's parents. (reference)

The wicked walk in slippery places in war time, but barking with the biggest dog seems to pay the best divs., judging by the paunch and prosperous appearance of the average fatriotic fugleman for Fat. But a due discrimination must be used even when howling for the modern brand of freedom. Were it not for the fact that freedom of speech is only a vague memory in the Commonwealth, and that the hand of the censor lies heavy on the land, the preemptive rights held on the political principles of various Australian politicians would have been shouted from the house-tops long ere this. The fatal facility of the average unthinking citizen to imbibe his political beliefs from his daily paper, and the not unnatural impulse of a gregarious animal to run with the biggest, or noisiest mob, is undoubtedly responsible for the wave of lip-loyalty now sweeping over the Commonwealth. The training and experience of politicians, and other public men have taught them to make use of this receptive trait to influence the votes cast by the electors. It will be interesting to watch the effect of the present Pluto engineered campaign for conscription in this State when taking into account the strong revulsion of feeling that has taken place on the question in the Eastern States.
