Lot Description:1932 Los Angeles: The Australian Team in Los Angeles: A photographic postcard of the whole team in their Olympic Uniforms
in front of the Olympic Stadium. The postcard has been signed by all 13 athletes and 3 officials, including Clare Dennis, Bobby Pearce and Duncan Gray, the three Gold Medallists. Andrew “Boy” Charlton was the flag bearer of the contingent, smaller than planned because of financial constraints resulting from the Great Depression. -
Notes:The card is endorsed to the recipient by Billy Barwick, also a member of the team, who competed in the 1500m but did not advance beyond the heats.
