Between Peter Charleston and
Between Peter Charleston and "Bill" Abery is either Chris or Doug Robertson. Think it's Chris. Doug is in the next row on Peter Pooley's left. The Robertson's lived opposite the pub. Mrs R made great pies and pasties which the boys and others sold at the pub. They later moved to Moe.
Yes it's not Wally Abery nor Bill, but Peter Abery. Bill was Peter's nickname - think that Bill was his father. John White could confirm as they lived in the same street.
Next to Bert Hopman is Barry Davis - from Hernes Oak.
Is it Alan Ashmore or Graham Coburn?

No, I don't think we began
No, I don't think we began school in Yallourn until 1959. She was three years ahead of me, so would have been in fourth grade, I think, when I was in first grade.
Its not Peter Abery as he was
Its not Peter Abery as he was in my grades at school - same age as me. Ken was 10 years older than us.
