Thank you to Old Boys and ex-servicemen Mr. Alan Cull (PNBHS 1937 – 1939) and Mr. Jim Kelly (PNBHS 1938 – 1942) who attended our Anzac Service and laid a wreath on the Gallipoli Oak on behalf of the Old Boys of Palmerston North Boys’ High School. After the service Mr. Kelly described his emotions as the World War Two Roll of Honour – the names of the 132 Old Boys of the school who lost their lives – was read as he personally knew nearly all of them and had been at school with many of them. We sincerely thank Mr. Cull, Patron of the PNBHS Old Boys Association, and Mr. Kelly, who travelled from Auckland especially to attend, for joining us again this year for our Anzac Service.
