Historical information

Major C.H. Brand also appears in PRG 280/1/26/104. It has been suggested by a researcher that this may be a group of senior cadets as described in the 'Daily Herald', Friday 1 May 1914, page 4. Brand worked with the senior cadets in 1913-1914. Percy Julge reached the rank of Captain in the 27th Infantry Battalion, and was awarded a Military Cross and bar (see article in 'The Register", Saturday 27 January 1917, page 10). Ab obituary for Rev. Metters appeared in 'The Express and Telegraph' (Adelaide) on 1 March 1918. page 1.
