Just when you thought things were going quiet, here’s something to really get your teeth into!
No, it’s not compulsory, far from it; but some classmates have been wondering if someone else can tell them who their fellow 4th class section mates were. I realise it’s been 53 years and most of us have found more interesting things to fill our heads with, but if you can remember the details, could I’d ask you to put them in the comments box and hit RETURN – and I’ll update the table.

Hi John,
I think someone else has responded to your question “who was fat Albert?” Mick Price of course who was also known as MIRD = Mobile Indestructible Rolling Device.
John Price might have a few words to say about him. To this day I cringe when I think about him screaming down the corridor hence the reason I will always know John as John Stanley Walter. Peter McCann and Bob Hill must still have nightmares about their section Corporal.

Hi Jim – goodo to hear from you and thanks for your input. The missing 4thie can be ‘narrowed down’ if they’re the right words, to one of 12 – Jon Mander Jones, Terry Oldfield, Chris Wallace, Peter Tonkin, Shane Stone, Bob Shaw, Greg Parry, Al McMurran (but I think Al was middle floor) Vic Hunt (I think middle floor) Pat Donovan, Tony Borchardt, Geoff McPherson – take your pick!

Hi Elph, I’m sure you will remember, Michael Braithwaite, for first three years, coke + cigarette and Polly waffle for breakfast, and Les Jenkins. I think we were lucky with our Gallipoli team. Sorry to miss you but the north has some benefits at this time of the year. Cheers Chris
