Portrait Unveiling Honors Private Dudley Otte Port Pirie
The Port Pirie High School community gathered to unveil a portrait of Private Dudley Cottle, a standout former student who enlisted in 1915 and fell in France on July 2, 1916. The mayor lauded the school’s proud record of service, noting 36 of 60 eligible old boys served, with several already lost in battle. The tribute spoke to national spirit and the value of the school’s training under Mr Edwards. Cottle, famed for top academic honors, left a commercial career for the fight for Empire, and an officer’s tribute recalled his cheerful courage. The event urged inspiration from his sacrifice.
