Mr. W. J. Clayton, when he offered to go to England as a munition worker, was foreman in Mr. G. Lewis's furniture manufactory, Mount Gambier. He was accepted by the Commonwealth authorities and embarked on May 12, 1917. The whole of the time he was in England he was employed in work of making aeroplanes, first at Manchester and afterwards at Liverpool. He was so engaged about 18 months. He did not leave immediately the armistice was signed, as he had to remain until the firm he was working for closed its contract in the second week of January. He enjoyed excellent health all the time he was away, and says he does not regret going, for he saw and learned many interesting and useful things. Manchester was one of the leading munition manufacturing centres of England, and the enemy Zeppelins tried several times, in their raids, to do damage to it; but the nearest point they reached at any time was Bolton, about 7 miles away. Mr. Clayton returned to Australia' by the transport City of Cairo, and disembarked at Adelaide. Before being allowed to go on the mainland the men who returned had to spend a week's quarantine on Torrens Island.
