The headquarters of the XX Bomber Command had been established at Kharagpur India on 28 March 1944. Its first commander was General Kenneth B. Wolfe. While not seen in this photo, the home airfield of one of the Command’s four bomb groups, the 468thBG was adjacent to this headquarters. The XX Bombardment Command Headquarters at Kharagpur was housed in a building which the British had built and used as a political prison. Perhaps the most famous among its inmates was Mahatma Gandhi. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was an Indian lawyer and anti-colonial nationalist who employed nonviolent resistance. Gandhi successfully campaigned for India's independence from British rule. The walls surrounding the XX Bomber Command HQ were an artifact of the structure’s prison history.

The town pool built in 1936 saw a number of managers throughout the years, including Allan Scheskie who managed it from about 1942 to 1945. Leigh Gunston (nee Scheskie) recalled that, in the old days when water was pumped from Auckland Creek to fill the pool, she had to blow seaweed away in front of her when breast-stroking. Bill Potter (around 1953), Bob Austin (around 1961), Vince Breslin and Cecil Ringuet were later managers. In early 1959, the Gladstone Town Council voted to allocate 10000 Pounds ($20000) to install a chlorination and filtration plant. There was some opposition to this plan, with some aldermen and citizens expressing the view that the pool was outdated and should be replaced with an Olympic sized pool rather than undergo a renovation. The new pool was not to become a reality for nearly 20 years. Source: gladstonehistoryinc.wordpress.com/entertainment-in-the-ea...
