Personal Stories
Commonwealth Bank Turramurra NSW
I worked with Peter as a teller in the Turramurra branch of the Commonwealth Bank.
We used to have a competition as to who could serve the most customers.
Then conscription. His parents purchased a flash wristwatch which he was so proud of. My number was not pulled out.
