Description
Studio portrait of 21892 Aircraftman Class 1 (AC1) Harold Gravell Lincoln RAAF. Lincoln, of Korumburra, Vic, was an employee of Woolworths in Sydney prior to enlisting on 13 February 1941 with the General Reconnaissance School, RAAF. He was killed in a training accident on 11 March 1942 at Laverton, Vic, aged 23. AC1 Lincoln is commemorated at the Victoria Cremation Memorial. 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.
