2. 285 employees had joined the army and navy, of whom 41 had been killed.
3. From Yard funds, the sum of £178 had been paid to the dependents of those who served and £180 to next-of-kin of those who fell.
4. £950 8s 10d had been raised by workmen and officials for local charitable and war institutions. £5,100 18s was invested by employees through the War Savings Association certificates.
5. Each employee who served was given a medal by Mr. R.A. Bertram. They were also given a gold watch, albert and medal from the firm. Two civilians were also honoured.
6. The photographs we show here is of a photo which must have been taken and distributed at the time. Photographic restoration was undertaken by Vivid Recollections (Australia) in 2017 with a note at the bottom which reads: *Initials and name illegible due to the damaged state of the original photograph from which this restoration has been made.”
