It comprised of the Penrith Band, Militia (under Captain R. Cambridge), returned soldiers, the newly formed Penrith branch of Women's Voluntary Services, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and Junior Red Cross. The diggers were led by the President Mr E. F. Rule and Vice-President Mr J. Cram. In the background is the Nepean Theatre.
