Several applications for membership were received and it was decided to form a troop at Benhar. A branch of the Women's Auxiliary Corps was also formed. It was hoped that most of the activities of the Dunedin Corps might be undertaken at Benhar Lectures in first aid. home nursing and A.R.P. together with voluntary sewing for the Red Cross and for refugee children should be of interest and value to the women of Benhar and district.
