Yep, Paul Metcalf Way, the photo is showing part of Accy College (new buildings) in the background. I believe this gentleman was a tutor at the college and was a part time fireman. He lost his life trying to rescue a lad who was drowing, and lost his own life.

Re: THOTH`s Oakleaf Quiz-001

Atarah gets the Oakleaf -- and apologies for the delay in responding but that is due to the nature of my work. Rest assured that I do eventually get around to checking.
