Parry, Claude Antill
ASC Stiles
Much fruitless time was spent on this entry! As the Honour Role incorrectly gave his
second name as “Herbert;” One could not find a fit? It only dawned later, that if Dr
Parry had a son, as per the following paragraph, then that would give the correct
name!
----------------------------“Among the successful candidates at the recent Junior University Examination we
noticed the name of Claude Parry, son of Doctor Parry, of Picton, and a pupil of All
Saints’ College, Bathurst.”
