Vera Deakin White edit
- ... that Vera Deakin's missing persons bureau responded to 400,000 enquiries from the families of Australian soldiers during World War I? Source: "Vera and her friend Winifred Johnson established the Australian Wounded and Missing Enquiry Bureau [...] For three years they fielded heart-rending queries from anxious families across Australia about their soldier relatives. [...] Some 400,000 responses were sent to those who placed enquiries with the bureau." [1]
