Welcome Home
On Monday evening Mr. and Mrs. Gregson invited a large number of their friends to their home in MacDonald Street to welcome their son, Lieut. W. Gregson who arrived in Kalgoorlie on Christmas eve after five years active service abroad. The evening passed merrily away with music and various games. A guessing competition that proved very entertaining was won by Mr. Halliday who was rewarded for his smartness with a pretty little photo frame. In the early hours of the morning the guests wended their homewards after spending a very happy evening. - The Sun (Kalgoorlie), 4 January 1920, p.6
