item 9 — the staged returns, war by war
No homecomings article can yet stand, and the leg banks the want instead of a paragraph of atmosphere: the returns this town staged — the welcome for the men of 1919, of 1945–46, of 1953, and whatever the Vietnam years brought home — are not told in any fragment. What the banked set holds is the homecoming institution, not the events: the Legion post and Auxiliary organised within months of the Second World War's end, in the wars leg's telling — the vessel into which the returns were poured. The staged returns themselves, war by war, wait on their settler, named here: the Gazette and Tribune files for 1919, 1945–46, 1953, and the Vietnam years, read for New Carlisle ceremonies. Until that read is made, the item stands as a named gap in this section's own file, so no reader mistakes the institution for the events.
