The boys showed great respect for the occasion and the values it embodies. We came together to commemorate the Old Boys who served in WWII and in conflicts after it.

Thank you to all our guests for attending; especially to Kevin Weir (Dunedin RSA President and RNZAF Liaison Officer) and Lox Kellas (Otago District RSA President and member of the Old Boys' Association – the Kingsmen).
