Notes (points of interest etc.)

Sydney began employment with the South Australian Company, from the 27th October 1932. In 1936, when the last manager died, the company s affairs (& 2 remaining staff including Sydney) were transferred to Elders Trustee Co which finally liquidated the company in 1949. Sydney was involved with the winding up process & then remained at Elders Trustee until retirement, (apart from time served as a medic in the army during the 2nd world war.)
