SWEPT THE BOARD
A New Zealander virtually swept the board at the 1970 graduation at the Australian Royal Military College at Duntroon, Canberra. R. L. Scott, of Tauranga, who graduated into the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment, took the Sword of Honour, for exemplary conduct and performance of duty; the Queen's Medal for
graduating firsT in his class; and 10 other prizes in addition to his graduation diploma. He is the fourth New Zealander to take the Sword of Honour - Queen's Medal "double" at Duntroon. No other New Zealander has won as many prizes on graduation day, and, indeed, Scott's tally may well be a record for the college as a whole.
