A new menu item has been added to our website. It is a page of miscellaneous memorabilia and documentation from 1969 – ’72. Thanks very much to those who have contributed and hopefully it may remind others of a photo, doco or whatever that you may have lying around that you may want to share. If anyone needs a hand to scan things, just give me a call.

You’ll find it under Gallery – down near the bottom – called Doco and Memorabilia . .

Oh, and by the way – is anyone else bringing a special tipple to the Reunion??

A few more from the album. A few recognisable faces – one lying down, seemingly resting.

My apologies if this post re-opens old scars!

Chris Clark’s Duntroon history – published in 1986 – has just been republished – as the attached 90-second Youtube video highlights:  https://youtu.be/3mP_CixW4Wk.

Keen followers will have noticed that the Gallery has changed a bit. We now have a significantly greater number of photos thanks to some hefty contributions from Graham Huggins, Rod Allan and others, so the 4th Class menu has been split into sub menus to hopefully make it easier to find photos.

But, my memory is pretty hopeless about what year things took place, particularly the field bits – perhaps I was asleep! So if anyone would like to let me know what photos to move to their correct homes, I’m happy to do so – just tell me what to move and where to.

We are getting there! It’s testing the old memory and interestingly, coming up with some different recollections.

The latest version is at the Classmates tab on the menu. I’m happy to keep it going if only we could get some more of the missing links – one persons recollection can solve it for 2 others as well.

Cheers

An updated Class List is now on the website and many thanks to all those who provided information. I have sent the odd individual note, but please accept this as a general word of thanks. Apologies to those who tried to comment through the website but struck difficulties – let me know or give me a call and together we’ll get to the bottom of it.

So we have nearly 70% completed – once again a plea to all to check the new information, and ad or correct it where you can. You can find the updated list it by viewing the Class List on the Classmates tab of the menu.

A special thanks to Steve Despoges for sending in an original ’69 org chart for Alamein – I’ll put it up in the Gallery shortly.

Cheers

Hello Classmates,

Just a note to let you know that we’ve changed some menus around. The underlying aim was to implement password protection on the Class books for the classes of ’69 and ’71 and of course to have it in place for when our own book comes out later in the year.

In an acknowledgment to the past, the menu heading is ‘In the Book!’

We also moved the Roll Book and Snippets under this menu heading and this will be the new home for any other documents that need protection.

The passwords are applicable at the document level, not the menu level so unfortunately you’ll have to put the password in each time you access a restricted item.

Additionally we’ve created a Class List, of everyone who was on our journey at some stage. Yes it is much like the Roll Book but without the contact details. We don’t have everyone’s Company so please let us know if you can fill in any of the gaps.

Not surprisingly ,the new menu item is called Classmates.

And of course you’d be disappointed if I didn’t ask again for photos, and memorabilia. If you have some material and don’t have a scanner, drop me an email and I’ll walk you through how to get the best, free scanner that’s out there.

Cheers

John Elph
