Old
Miltonians Sports Club 90th Anniversary Celebrations to be held
at the
club.
They are organising a 4-day programme of
festivities at the end of
April 27-30th
and are hoping that Milton Old
Boys and former OMs
members, from wherever, but particularly South Africa, will attend.
OMs became a sports club in April 1928 when the OMs Association
entered
a rugby team in the Bulawayo 2nd League competition, and
the Milton
Senior Sports club was opened on 1 June 1928.

celebration program

An interesting article about
David Greswolde Lewis,
known as
"Tommy" Lewis who in WWI was recognised as the
last fighter pilots shot
down by Baron von Richtofen (Germany) known as the "Red Baron".
See 1918 school magazine where after his capture he was a prisoner of
war
in Graudenz.
His article of the event was written in
Gwanda, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) after his return from WW1.

Perth 2017
A reunion was held in Perth following the recent event in
Johannesburg,
great turnout with old miltonians from the 40's, 50's,
60's, 70's and
the 80's.
We had three head boys Charlie Lennegan 1968, Paul Cutler 1980 and
Adrian Abel 1984, and possibly the second oldest Miltonian of todays era
Rob Shand
who was at Milton 1944 to 1949.
▪ Miltonian Magazines extracts
1912 - 1949. ** In progress
A special thanks to Graham Andrews for his help and time in visiting the
National Archives to co-ordinate and kindly pay for nearly 400 pages of
the
"MILTONIAN" magazines going back to 1912.
Graham gave up quite a bit of time whilst in Harare on holiday from
overseas, and co-ordinating the initial requirements with Ian Johnston
in
England (archivist who worked at the National Archives) before he
arrived in Harare. This enabled him to meet with a representative of the
National Archives with specific information relating to the location and
indexing to enable complete identification of very old magazines.
Graham focused his attention in obtaining copies of pages
considered
most relative and covered each year :
• Roll of honour, those serving in WWI
and WWII, together with
some
pictures of the students, some who lost their lives serving His
Majesteys
Service. Including some details of medal awards, unit,
rank, force number,
and status when reported.
• Names of
teachers, staff and headmasters 1923 onwards
• Names of
prefects and headboy, school council 1923 onwards
• Names of
School Council 1923 - 1945
• Sports photographs - mainly cricket, rugby, boxing and
tennis
• Sports critique - cricket
(1917 and 1921) and
rugby (1922,
1923, 1927,
1929 and 1931)
• Sports results -
cricket (1921 )
rugby (1922, 1923, 1927,
1929 and 1931) - UNBEATEN TEAMS 1922 and 1929.
• Other photographs in the magazine - headmaster,
school, cadets,
signals, gymnastics, athletics, boxing, tennis etc
• Extracts 1932 - 1940 from the "Old Miltonians Association" (OM's club
that started in 1922)
