Description

Studio portrait of 409289 Flying Officer (FO) Noel George Burnell, 23 Squadron RAAF. A clerk of Berri, SA, Burnell enlisted on 15 August 1941. FO Burnell was killed in New Guinea whilst on operations on 24 February 1944, aged 21. He is commemorated at the Lae Memorial, Papua New Guinea. 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.
