Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School

Wilson House was formerly part of a hostel, run by the Sisters of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary in Clarke Street, Bunbury, before being removed to the Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School site in the 1970s, where it served as a dormitory for boys. This item was found behind a cupboard in Wilson House in 2002. It is a small blue covered service booklet containing the record of Australian Women's Land Army member Nancy Shone Rosslyn Meyers (nee Price), who enlisted at Kalamunda, Western Australia on 14 June 1943, with Land Army No. 156. The booklet contains a clothing and equipment list, record of service 1943-1944, Standing Orders and Certificate of Discharge due to marriage to farmer V. Meyers.
