Cable for Mrs Anderson of Bowen St, Moonee Ponds



This cablegram was sent by Don Anderson to his sister-in-law to let her know that her husband, his brother Jim, had been wounded.  In a masterpiece of brevity, the message reads "Jim slightly wounded splendid".   Image by courtesy of Bev Armstrong.
