This is from the Sunday Post ( a popular paper still in central Scotland) June 1928. I believe this is the sailing your ancestors probably went over on.

Just noticed your family actually sailed march 1928. This doesn't appear to be a Salvation Army sponsored sailing. There are some papers pertaining  to the March sailing on the NAA website ( in case you haven't seen them).

I can't see them mentioned as passengers, 1st column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article79222835

Salvation Army association: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122806289

National Australian Archives - www.naa.gov.au - isn't working at the mo, though.

Try going straight into RecordSearch, the site seems to be playing up a bit.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/3916747  9 March 1928 The Argus.

No, the March 1928 voyage was not sponsored by the Salvation army.  See the cutting linked above. 

Salvation Army Ships
More Charters Likely.

The Vedic came under charter to the Salvation Army**….. The Vedic’s voyage was intended to be the first of a series of specially chartered sailings, but in view of the unsettled state of the labour market it was decided to postpone the project…..

** this is referring to earlier 1927 voyage.
