1966 Army Cadets OLM Page 1
Tom Hardy's ‘CBC Townsville’ - ‘Section Roll Book and Attendance Record’ - for No 2 Platoon of our Army cadet unit of 1966.
Tom Hardy was Platoon Sergeant, Paul Lindsay our CUO and Denis McCarthy was Section Sergeant.
Hardrock’s immaculate scrawl denotes the weekend bivouac at St Margaret’s Creek in April and the Annual Camp at Sellheim in August.
"Scrath" McCarthy remembers as follows:- "I think the initials of the Parade O.C. are “V.R.B.”. Would that have been ‘Boxer’ Bartlett? His Christian name may have been ‘Vic’ if I remember correctly, but I could be way off the mark with that. I remember Doug Reid was head honcho of the Cadet Unit and the other Brothers who were Officers were ‘Boxer’ and Peter Fogarty. Goulevitch, Young and Lindsay are the only CUO’s I can remember. And of course John Kirkland swung that Drum Major’s staff. Sgt Billy Archer looked after the Q Store and Peter Ryalls was another Sgt. They may have been earlier appointments (a 1964 course?) as I don’t remember them both being at Sellheim in 1965."
