Historical information

These 12 photos were taken at the Army Survey Regiment in the grounds of Fortuna in September 1990. CPL Pat Drury in formal service dress served a silver service morning tea by the lake, as a result of a losing bet on the 1990 Rugby League Grand Final to MAJ Ray Redman, who appears in a Canberra Raiders rugby league top. Pat Drury Pat Drury was a very keen rugby league supporter and followed the Penrith Panthers, who lost its first Grand Final appearance to the Canberra Raiders in 1990. Ray Redman reciprocated the following year, as the Penrith Panthers reversed the result against Canberra winning their first premiership. The occasion in 1991 is covered on page 152 of Valerie Lovejoy’s book 'Mapmakers of Fortuna – A history of the Army Survey Regiment’ ISBN: 0-646-42120-4. See Item 6154.6P for photos taken in 1991.
