This week's Compass TV program
will highlight the important services provided to
the community at the Brunswick Corps and Community
Centre, as well as paying tribute to the historical
significance of the 2/22 Battalion Band and the
bandmaster Arthur Gullidge.
Nearly
all of the 2/22 Battalion Regimental Band was a
Salvation Army bandsman, including 7 from the
Brunswick Corps. These men were deployed to New
Britain in 1941 and only one band member survived.
Sadly, many bandsmen, including the bandmaster, were
listed as being prisoners of war on board the
Montevideo Maru when it was sunk on 1 July 1941.
As well as acknowledging the
strong historical significance of the Brunswick
Salvation Army, Compass also recognises the
significant impact this Corps has on the surrounding
community in present day. Here services like the
Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug (ATOD) Counselling
Services, Community Support Services, a Recreation
Programme for people with limited opportunities,
Creative Opportunities supported employment program
and a Youth Programme provide a high level of
support and care to disadvantaged and marginalised
members of our community throughout the year. |
