Default my sunday market find

Hi guys
I went to a local Sunday market yesterday. It’s a fairly big type of trash and treasure and I have heard often has military items but the usual scroungers normally snap up anything good well before the market officially opens.
Yesterday I went mid morning thinking I would come away as usual with only a hot dog and coffee. But I found this and it was reasonably priced.
One mans cadet career, Lt-Major W.V.Nash. Ballarat grammar 1940-44, 1946.
Caulfield grammar 1950-63 and Scotch college1964-78.
Enjoy
