Description
Studio portrait of 400799 Flying Officer (FO) John Frederick Herbert, RAAF, 143 Squadron RAF. Herbert of Towong Hill, Vic, was an office boy prior to enlistment. FO Herbert was killed in an accident in North Coates, England on 27 January 1943, aged 22. He is buried in the North Cotes (St Nicholas) Churchyard, Lincolnshire, England. This image is taken from "The Ivanarian", a magazine of the Ivanhoe Grammar School in Melbourne, Vic. During the Second World War the school honoured "old boys" who had enlisted and died by including a short biographical piece and in many cases a portrait.
