David Rugby Robinson August 1927- March 2020 attended Geelong Grammar School during WW2. It was in the thick of WW2 and cadet training was real, many students faced call-up and David remembers the headmaster James Darling struggling to read through the list of former students who had been killed. But he also has great memories of the friends he made, the sport he played, and diet of pumpkin, bacon, bread and fresh milk. It was hard to get home, so trips back to the farm in NSW were rare and David remembers that life was tough for those on the land.
