RESEARCH - Seeking past students of St Joseph's CBC North Melbourne - Aircraft of World War II

cristal · 01-05-2009, 07:32 PM

I am currently trying to locate past students (or their names!) of St. Joseph's CBC North Melbourne, now known as St Joseph's College Melbourne. As this school will close in December 2010 after more than a century I thought it fitting to record the names of as many men as possible who have served in the armed forces - peace or wartime, in whatever capacity.

This project was initiated when I discovered a 16mm roll of film, about to be dumped, showing the passing out parade of the last College Cadets contingent sometime in the 1950's.

If you know of anyone please just post a reply here.
