Can you help identify the following people in this photograph. From the left are Gordon Harvie and Keith Catford, both of the Appila EFS. The photo was taken in Appila in 1976. We think the three men on the right may be from another EFS brigade, and although the men may have changed in appearance, they may still be in the CFS or there may be family or community members still involved may be able to identify them. The picture was taken by the late Jack Babbage of Appila, and the information will be part of a new history book, compiled by Max Sayer.
