Description

251538 Wing Commander James Stewart Noel Harris, Chief Instructor of the RAAF School of Administration, salutes after receiving the RAAF Long Service Commendation at No. 1 Engineering School, RAAF. The RAAF School of Administration and Special Duties had moved from Ascot Vale to Trinity College, The University of Melbourne, in early 1942. By coincidence, Wing Commander Harris was himself an alumni of Trinity, having attended the college in 1925 and rising to become Senior Student in his final year, 1928-29. Following the Second World War he became president of the Fleur de Lys, the Trinity College alumni society.
