​Among the letters we found in Myrtle's suitcase we also came across this small published book of poetry written by returned servicemen. A few sketches and scribbles have been added to the pages, likely by Oz himself and it appears to have been a well loved tome.

Mildura Living - Autumn

5/3/2016

0 Comments

 
Mildura Living magazine has run some wonderful profiles over the past few years on people and places in the Sunraysia region. Mildura based writer Lisa Cooper has written a gorgeous piece for the Autumn edition of Mildura Living on Oz and Myrtle's story! If you're in Mildura its pretty easy to pick up a copy - but outside of that contact  Mildura Living via their website about picking a copy up before their next issue comes out. Its been a privilege to be able to read and transcribe Oz and Myrtle's letters and just wonderful to see their story being shared further afield.

Wonderful elevation of the Repatriation Commission's proposed Artificial Limb Factory for South Melbourne. I've come across a few interesting references in various papers and books about Australia's artificial limb development and production.
