The information we gather is then published the following week with the next Golden Oldie.
Last week we had a photograph of nine firemen taken in the 1960’s that created a lot of interest with readers and from that we were able to ascertain all the men’s names and we were missing a few.
It was Gary Toms who saw the photo on Facebook that provided the names for us.
“I worked alongside some of these firefighters and they were all good men,” he said.
He named the men (from top left) as Tommy Lomas, Paddy Lomas, Jack Martin, Kevin Elliott, Athol Dent, John Groves, Rae Cowell, Tom Herring and Glen Toms.
We had a slight discrepancy with Mick Paxton being named in place of Kevin Elliott.
This week’s Golden Oldie is of Bombala St Joseph’s students taken in 1949. Does anyone recognise any of the students? If so we would love to hear from you.
