"On the 6th and 7th May 1917 this NCO was on duty under heavy enemy fire for 36 hours without rest organising and directing strecher squads who were continually suffering casualties in carrying in the wounded from the RAP east of Bullecourt to the advanced collecting post Noreuil.

Wyatt Earp Tally Band (Extremely rare and desirable), cargo Documents, emergence messages, humourous Antarctic Menus, map sketches telegrams and letters from various people including Prime Minister Robert Menzies regarding being awarded the MBE and being mentioned in the Royal Honours List, and a collection of other ephemera belonging to Homewood, including invitations, passes and other bits and pieces. The journal is hardcover, Grade II-. A very important historical journal. Also included is a copy of "People Magazine", dated December 30, 1953, which includes a 4 page story of Homewood, including many photographs regarding his War service, his voyage to Antarctica and some other, including his part in the historically significant Sydney Harbour attack by Japanese midget submarines in which he helped to recover unexploded depth charges launched by warships in the event, as well as his service as a Commando. There is also a collection of loose ephemera relevant to Homewood, including black and white photographs (one damaged), letters and envelopes, including some regarding his MBE appointments, an RSL card, menus, Particulars forms wartime certifications, a letter from People Magazine, a Children's Hour magazine (in return for lending someone his journal in 1948), a christmas menu for the HMAS Wyatt Earp that was signed by many members of the crew and a RAN Identity card.

There is also included a 5-6 minute video (can be played on any ordinary modern VCR machine), featuring Homewood instructing students in naval diving from about the 1960's. It is silent and in black and white, but highly informative of the day-to-day work of Homewood at the diving school that he ran from the 1950's to his retirement in 1961. Overall an extremely rare and valuable set to an outstanding sailor and officer of the Royal Australian Navy.
