This is from the Treasurer's Book of the Koo Wee Red Cross unit. It lists the 261 men and women who were members in 1943-1944. The population of the town was around 1,000 people, so a large proportion were members. The treasurer was Mrs Margaret Robertson and it is her lovely hand writing, you see here. Membership was 2 shillings, so this totalled £26/2/0.
These images are courtesy of Don Jewell, a long serving member of the now defunct Koo Wee Rup unit. The names are transcribed below the four images.
Don has also supplied the following information on the Koo Wee Rup Red Cross - It was formed on July 7, 2015. Koo-Wee-Rup Red Cross operated for the duration of the First World War, and then closed down ‐ only to become active again during the Second World War. Once again it closed down, only to be revived in 1962 ‐ and we celebrated our Golden Jubilee (and "third incarnation!") in 2002 According to Red Cross records, the first Secretary (in 1914‐15) was a Mrs. C.M. Jack (although she is later listed as Miss C.M. Jack) From 1916 to 1919, Mrs. J.A. Morrison was President, Miss C.M. Jack was Secretary and Mrs. M. Hamilton, the Treasurer.
