Well, 50 years ago tomorrow to be precise. So, anniversary greetings to all those who were and are part of the journey that was (is) the Class of 1972.
A short synopsis of the year that was is at this link: 1969
And as we recognise this milestone, let us remember those who have died along this journey (see https://duntroonclassof1972.com/roll-book/), and keep their families and loved ones in our thoughts.
RMC Class of 1972 
Thanks Berry – in some respects it seems like just yesterday, but a whole lifetime ago! Things certainly have changed since then.
Some great friendships made, and a few great mates lost – but not forgotten.

One other thought – I read that Summary kindly provided by Dave – and noted that they report that there were 5 cadets from the NT at RMC in 1969, including 2 in our class. Pretty sure that’s rubbish!! No one else in our class, and I think that only “Obie” O’Brien (2nd Class) had lived in the NT but actually enlisted through Adelaide. I recall being bastardised mercilessly because when asked my Army Number, I said “7149” – and they invariably said “couldn’t possibly be – give me 50”. Arrh, the memories!

Kym,
Did that include PNG (not that it was PNG at that time!)? I seem to recall we had one from that District – or was that an 8 number?

Dave – yes, PNG recruits had a “8” prefix in those days. Was that Vic Hunt??

Dave, thanks to that 1969 Gazette you also just published, there were no “8”s in our class, and Vic Hunt had a Qld number – so he could have been from PNG but enlisted through Brisbane.

Hi Kym,
Just noticed in a newspaper report of our Graduation, in which home States were listed, that there was none from the NT, but one from Norfolk Island (Bill Greenham).
