From the RSL NEWS. A fascinating look at history, and social comment over the years. I opened the 1936 Qld Digger, and in it there is first hand reporting of training in Egypt, interaction with the local population, sailing to Lemnos, as told by the diggers themselves. A treasure trove for any interested in days gone by . I found especially interesting was complaints about the soldier settlement scheme, here is the link , courtesy of RSL NEWS. ;

The Queensland Digger
- the magazine now known as Queensland RSL News - has been digitised thanks to the State Library of Queensland. It was part of the project QANZAC100: Memories for a new generation, and all
398 issues spanning 1925-1962
will be available online.

During the years The Queensland Digger was the official journal, our organisation was known as the Queensland Branch of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers Imperial League of Australia (Queensland Branch) and Allied Organisations (R.S.S.A.I.L.A.).

The journal includes narratives and remembrances, Sub Branch reports, articles, and information about war pensions, housing and soldier settlements. The journal changed its title to Vigilance in 1962, and the R.S.S.A.I.L.A. also changed names several times before settling on Returned & Services League of Australia Limited (RSL) in 1990.
