Description
Studio portrait of 401044 Sergeant (Sgt) Francis Charles (Frank) Marriner, 6 Squadron RAAF. Marriner enlisted on 8 December 1940. Sgt Marriner was killed on 19 February 1942 in New Guinea whilst on operations. He is buried at the Port Moresby (Bomana) War Cemetery, 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.
