NAB presents commemorative plaque to nephew of ex-soldier and banker - 20 February 2004 Friday, 20 February 2004 National Australia Bank's 10 month search for the closest living relative of a former employee killed in WW1 has ended in Mudgee having followed a trail of emails from all over Australia and as far away as Canada. Today the National officially presented 83 year-old Mudgee resident, Mr. David Murray Garland, with a plaque commemorating his uncle, Gunner Murray Baylis Garland, who lost his life in WW1. The presentation was made at the National's Mudgee Branch by Lindsay Millar, Area Manager Orange, who said it was an honour to be able to present the plaque to the family of Murray Garland on behalf of the bank. "The National's archive files tell us that Murray joined the bank at the age of 17 as a junior at the Shellharbour branch. It was a position that required him to spend his days filling up the inkwells, doing the messages and probably sweeping the floor of the banking chamber at the end of the day." "Between 1909 and 1911 he worked at the Corowa and Oaklands branches. By 1912 Murray was a Ledger-keeper at Campsie, where the plaque and respectful words preserved his memory and where he remained until joining the military service in September 1915". The plaque was initially mounted on the wall of the Campsie branch around 1918, where it remained until the building was demolished in 1986. It then became part of the National's archives and heritage collection. In April 2003 the National's monthly staff magazine featured a photograph of the plaque commemorating Murray Garland. The article asked staff for their help in finding the descendants of Mr Garland. In October, 2003 a message was received from Stuart Garland of Grafton NSW (son of Murray Garland's nephew David) who had received a scanned copy of the article from someone in Canada. He was able to supply family tree information which substantiated the link. The Manager of the Bank's Heritage Collection, Rod McLennan says there are several plaques similar to this currently held in the bank's archives which have survived the demolition of their buildings. " We are pleased the plaque is finally to be cared for by the Garland family", said Mr McLennan.
