Christmas at Greenvale

Published by The Argus on Wed 29 December 1920

Although some of the patients at the Greenvale Sanatorium were allowed leave of absence for a few days at Christmas, a fair number of male and female patients participated in an enjoyable Christmas dinner. Cattle reared at the sanatorium were killed for the occasion, and the vegetables eaten had been grown in the grounds of the sanitorium. The usual Christmas delicacies were also enjoyed, the Red Cross Society providing for the comfort of returned men. A vote of thanks to the matron, nurses, and staff, and others who had assisted in entertaining the patients was agreed to. An impromptu concert was held in the evening.
