My deepest condolences to Bruces’ daughters, family and friends.

You were respected and a great bloke to work with on the truck whilst working GDs at Wollongong back in the 1980s.

And you loved your aluminium tea pot.

There are THREE people with the surname ANDERSON in this Class.  M.L. ANDERSON # 11939 / P.J. ANDERSON # 12038 / Cadet N.T. ANDERSON # 12083.  I can not be 100% certain ( until further informed ) which ANDERSON is referred to ( in the Back Row ) on the original name sheet –  thus I will mention them in this note but not in the photo.

There are two people with the surname of IRWIN in this Class.  C.A. IRWIN # 12024 & C.R. IRWIN # 11933 ( Cadet ).  I can not be 100% certain ( until further informed ) if C.A. IRWIN is in the 2nd row or the 3rd row.  For the purpose of this photo – I have chosen the 2nd row for C.A. IRWIN # 12024 ( because the faces can’t be distinguished )

There are two people with the surname of MORRIS in this Class.  Peter MORRIS # 11948 & R.R. MORRIS ( Cadet ) # 11936.  I can not be 100% certain ( until further informed ) if Peter is in the front row or the 2nd row.  For the purpose of this photo – I have chosen the front row for Peter ( because the faces can’t be distinguished )
