Who Where When

Training School in the Mid-sixties

This photo was clearly a group of fresh faced young recruits (along with their instructors) in Training School dating back to the mid 1960’s, and we figures there should not be a problem identifying everyone in it.  It is of course a group in Training School between March and May 1967, and we have not only been able to identiify those present, thanks to Davie Kerr and Stan Hill but Stan  has also mentioned two instructors who were not present when this photo was taken.

Stan added:- "Just to let you know, I am doing well living in Australia. Still married to Hilary and we now have 3 grandchildren. I don't know why I didn't move before. We have seen Ray Sousa and Dave Kerr who both visited Melbourne for a day. There are quite a few other ex-Officers in Aussie but have not made contact yet. If anyone is heading this way please give me a call when you get to Melbourne.  

Best to you all.

PS Sorry to hear about Lyn Hall. (See Latest News)

Editors note  - Stan has  provided us with both his telephone number and email address in Melbourne.  We have a policy of not publishing such details on the website but we are happy to pass them on to any of our former colleagues who are planning on visiting Melbourne.
