  The recruitment march starts - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/110054908 At Yass, (AWM) - www.awm.gov.au/collection/P02966.001 On the road - www.awm.gov.au/collection/H16093/ And shortly after the photo above, with names - www.awm.gov.au/collection/P01587.001 As an aside, I am amazed how the newly-completed Mitchell Library (top right) has since lost a great deal of decorative stonework in rebuilds and additions - see GoogleMapsStreetView (also the moved statue of Governor Bourke, now hiding behind the palm trees) - goo.gl/maps/lUTy2
