STANTHORPE was touted as the starting point for the recruitment for the March of the Dungarees.
Public meetings were held throughout the district calling for support from communities in providing meals and accommodation, as well as setting up meetings in each town on the planned route.
Lieutenant David Binnie--who was in charge of the march--indicated his desire to commence at Stanthorpe, but it was later decided to start at Warwick.
Eight Stanthorpe men volunteered to join, taking the train to Warwick in time for the start of the march, with a ninth man catching up the next day.
