It is believed that Barry EDGECOMBE , NSWPF # 16307, is the son of Harry EDGECOMBE.
From memory Harry was the father of Barry. Harry was I believe a Sergeant 1st Class when I had dealings with him, he was a District Traffic Supervisor attached to the Traffic Branch. Natures Gentlemen.
I remember Harry as the Traffic Sgt at Fairfield ( 34 Division ) when I was there between 1976 – 1982.
