 A GREAT DEMONSTRATION AS AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND TROOPS MARCH 

 THROUGH THE STREETS OE LONDON 



Could one read the inmost thought of every individual in that multitude of watchers,

 sent fathers, husbands, brothers, or sons to make the supreme sacrifice for the Empire are 

 rare. 



The Broken Hill mines supply the bulk 

 of the lead, silver, and zinc annually ex- 

 ported from Australia, the zinc until 1914 

 going - chiefly to Germany for the manu- 

 facture of munitions. It is not at all 

 unlikely that volunteers from New South 

 Wales have met their death from shrap- 

 nel made from zinc and copper which 

 they had previously mined. 



For a few years following 1900 Aus-

production of the Transvaal she has

 some of the prospecting expeditions make 

 a story one would like to forget.
