Objects of Substance – OGA Honour Board

Another alumna, May Hardcastle (1929), is commemorated under the 1939 to 1945 Army division. May joined the VAD (Voluntary Aide Detachment) in 1941 and became a sergeant in the Australian Medical Service from 1942 to 1946, which included a stint in Motatai. May was an elite tennis player, BGGS Sports Brooch recipient, and a national champion by 1940, but her sporting career, along with her dream to see Wimbledon, the Olympic Games, and America was interrupted by the war.
