A.C.F. Protected Troops From Souvenir Sellers
By C. C. Faulkner
Back in February, 1940, the first Australians arrived in Palestine. Ten days later Col. R. S. Goward, the honorary Chief Commissioner of the Australian Comforts Fund, who was travelling with the troops, took over the modernised Fast Hotel in Jerusalem and turned it into a club and hostel.

The departure of the Duke and Duchess was delayed so that the Duchess could cut the club’s mammoth second birthday cake, which – like most of the cakes which are supplied to the club – had been made and given by Miss Peggy Brown, formerly of Melbourne. Her name is familiar to all R.A.A.F. men and other servicemen known at the Boomerang Club.
So is that of Miss Marie McKinnon, who has looked after the snack bar since the club was first started. She was the
