10th-50th Battalions and Associate Units 3rd and 13th Brigades, 1st AIF. Sixteenth Annual Re-Union, Hotel Barmera, Saturday, August 20th, 1949
[Barmera? Irving Print], 1949.
External dimensions 100 x 205 mm (but cut and printed to resemble a digger's slouch hat), [8] pages (comprising title, double-page 'rations' list, double-page toast list with relevant colour patches, a page for autographs, the committee list and details of deaths since the last meeting).
Light-brown card printed in dark brown; one 'rations' page slightly marked; trifling abrasion to the front cover; a superb item.
A most attractive souvenir menu from the South Australian Riverland. It is interesting to note that these annual reunions did not commence until 15 years after the First World War ended. The outside rear cover has the pencil [ownership] signature of H.L. Bowen [#1866 Sergeant Haddon Lancelot Bowen, 50th Battalion, returned to Australia in February 1919 after more than three years on active service).
