Carry On

Carry On Carry On has been supporting the veteran community since 1932. We help veterans and their families,

Carry On is an ESO that has been in existence since 12 July 1932. It was founded by 12 like-minded veterans of World War 1, who took on the task of assisting those who were less fortunate than themselves. Carry On provides financial, educational and welfare services to the Ex-Service community and their dependents. We also have approximately 100 individual living units throughout both in metropolitan and regional Victoria.

Before there was Veteran Housing Australia, there was the Carry On Club β€” founded in 1932 by WWI veteran William J. Hawkins.

He survived the war. He built something lasting. And in 1962, he put his remarkable wartime memories into writing.
Read his stories in his own words. πŸ”—https://veteranhousing.org.au/our-founders-stories/

Before he founded Veteran Housing Australia, William J. Hawkins survived a World War. In 1962, he sat down and wrote it all down for his grandchildren. πŸ“–

His stories are now digitised and free to read β€” and they're extraordinary.
