THE SECOND TELEPHONE NUMBER
C7407
You can see firstly that the telephone number shown near the top left-hand side of this document and highlighted, is indeed C7407.
Now look at the stamp of the Investigative Service Canberra and it shows a received date of 6th December 1948, beneath that stamp you can see the date that the report was typed was 3rd December 1948.
Two days after the discovery of the body on Somerton Beach, this report is typed up. What, if anything, can we draw from that? A coincidence? Or was there some other and maybe a related reason, for that timing?
A short while ago I posted on a find I had made whilst searching and digging deep into the various files on NAA. The above image is from those files and below is the full page image:
Further you will see that it is a report from Adelaide CIS to Canberra CIS and it discusses matters surrounding the Association and whether it existed in South Australia in 1948. You will find it in the NAA documents that I have previously published under 'The Association', there are 2 volumes and around 400 + pages to wade through.
THE DOCUMENT IS GENUINE
If you read the document, you will see near the top and to the left there is a telephone number and it is for the Savings Bank of South Australia. The number is C7407. It is the only number shown on the letterhead which also shows the Attorney General's Department, Investigation service and it is marked secret. It was common practice in those days to use one number for a number of Government Departments, the Savings Bank of SA was Government-owned.C7407 THE ADVERTISER ADS:
These ads contain a contact number of C 7407 which matches the number on the document above. They could be quite innocent ads posted on behalf of employees working in the Offices or perhaps one or more are tailored ads designed to notify and inform other contacts. The ap[proach of using innocent ads and innocent letters for that matter was in use at that time and possibly still is. One example would be the Gold Watch ad placed with a contact number of X 3239 said to be the telephone number of the nurse, Jestyn. Interestingly the former ad has been shown to contain an acrostic code.

Below is a screengrab of a comment that Pete Bowes wanted to leave in which he, sadly and once again, makes the inference that the document I posted is dubious. Further as is his wont, he throws in a barbed troll type comment which is best described as 'baiting', a trolling technique. Note the date on your comment Pete, this is the only comment I have as outstanding from you, not as you have suggested on your blog.
I am not going to do all your research for you Pete, it seems to me that all you do these days is to get others to post their views and do little or nothing yourself except, as in this case, launch another campaign that attacks, demeans, belittles and denigrates the person who once treated you as a friend.
I publish only those things I can substantiate and I publish my own work, I do most of my own research and verify work of others prior to publishing it. I have never once knowingly or deliberately set out to mislead anyone and rarely engage in online arguments except when I or my friends are attacked.
I have no idea what goes on in your life Pete but whatever it is I hope you get it resolved. When you do, I will have my hand outstretched in real friendship.
Take care of yourself, Pete, these are difficult enough times for us all without you descending to this level.
Keep Well, Keep Safe.
