A RECORD OF THE PART OF THE DEPARTMENT OF 

 AGRICULTURE IN THE EUROPEAN WAK, 1914-19. 



We have certainly been remiss in failing to publish until now — almost a 

 jear after the cessation of hostilities — a list of the names of the members of 

 the staff of the Department of Agriculture who enlisted for service in 

 the terrible war which has just been triumphantly declared at an end. 

 Unfortunately the list which can be given is incomplete. Full information is 

 available of enlistments from all our branches except the jVTaffra Sugar 

 Factory. Many men, and youths too, from the factory, who were accepted 

 for service, did not notify the management, but simply ceased duty in a 

 ©asual way and enlisted. 



In stating the number of enlistments from the De2:)artment as 197, 

 account has been taken of those employees at Maffra- who are known to have 

 enlisted, but in the list hereunder, so that no invidious distinctions may be 

 made, the names of none of the soldiers from the Factory are included.
