Married Roland BROWN
Miss Sprigg, of Dalmuir, Wagin, sails by the Katoomba this week for Melbourne, where her marriage to Captain Roland Brown will take place. The ceremony has been fixed for July 14 at All Saints' Church, Northcote. Miss Sprigg saw service with the A.A.N.S. in India and on the Persian Gulf, and was one of the most popular sisters at No. 3 Base Hospital. Captain Brown, who is a nephew of Mr. James Gardiner, served with distinction under Colonel Collett in the 28th Battalion. Upon being invalided home, he was engaged for some time at Francis-street head-quarters, and was subsequently transferred to an appointment in Melbourne.
