QUEENSLAND CONTINGENT

"Departure of the Second Queensland Contingent from Brisbane."
"The first contingents supplied by the Colonies were sent off with wild enthusiasm by the great crowds which witnessed their departure. A more sober, but not less impressive, loyalty marked the departure of later contingents. War had, even to the man in the street, become a dread reality."
