TitleRose Klas interview about her husband Henry Klas
DescriptionThis is an interview conducted by Roslyn Sugarman with Rose Klas and son George in her home in Belleview Hill. The interview is predominantly about Henry’s life experiences, particularly about his military service during the Second World War. It was conducted as a result of Henry’s medals which were bequeathed to the SJM and were to be put on display.
They relay a bit about Henry’s life before the war and his experiences in the French Foreign Legion and in the Czech Brigade of the British Army. They speak a lot about the families experience coming to Australia in 1949, his work in the schmatte business and other business endeavours.
