WWII uncovered: Honouring Reg Saunders: The First Aboriginal Australian to be Commissioned as an Officer in the Australian Army.

Reginald "Reg" Walter Saunders was the first Aboriginal Australian to be commissioned as an officer in the Australian Army. The son of a First World War veteran, Saunders was born in western Victoria on 7 August 1920 and brought up by his grandmother.

Reg Saunders passed away on 2 March 1990 in Canberra and was cremated with Anglican rites. His ten children survived him. The AWM holds his medals and his portrait by Pamela Thalben-Ball. In 1992 the RSL established a scholarship in his name for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women.

Captain Saunders was 69 years old at the time of his passing.

I'd take my plastic football to Pratten Park which was at the top of my street and kick goals barefoot until the groundsman would inevitably yell at me to get off the ground.

Should the wests tigers bring back Pratten park back to life in some way shape or form?
