Description
Studio portrait of 401410 Flying Officer (FO) Robert Ernest Berkley RAAF, 38 Squadron RAF. FO Berkley enlisted on 3 February 1941 and was killed on operations on 6 January 1944 in the Middle East, aged 22. He has no known grave and is commemorated at the Alamein Memorial, Egypt. 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.
