St Thomas' Harriers pre 1914 |
Following up the many sportsmen from the Essendon area in Winners, as mentioned in the previous post, I had a look to see if
Norval (Pat) Dooley who features in the
ABC Drama Anzac Girls, had a mention. And he did! It turns out Pat was a notable walker with the Melbourne University Athletics Club, and he was also a member of
St Thomas' Harriers of Moonee Ponds. I wonder if Pat is in the photo above, which probably dates to 1913? Pat Dooley of course went on to marry the Anzac Girl
Sister Olive Haynes.
