During the four years of World War 1 they travelled to other parts of Australia to perform and their popularity spread with even a visit to New Zealand. Formed by Meta Hayter (Mrs Bennett-White), they continued to perform eight years after the war fundraising for the Red Cross and various charitable bodies including the patriotic and repatriation funds. The group's popularity and hard work successfully raised 55000 pounds and Mrs Bennett- White was awarded an MBE.
