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 )
