Informal portrait of three members of the RAN, left to right: Sick Berth Attendant James Goodman of Tas; Writer John Gandy of Tas; Writer John Loughry of Tas, all of Flinders Naval Depot (HMAS Cerberus).

They would collect the men, often in groups of three, and drive them to the Dandenongs, hotels or theatres in the city, their home in Malvern or Flemington racecourse where the men would be their guests for the day. Often they would take photographs of the men and send a print to them afterwards. (Original print housed in AWM Archive Store and related material held in AWM Private Records)
