Internal notes
I have some doubts about the accuracy of this record. RC Wilson does not appear on the WW1 honour roll of Scotch College Melbourne, but this might be because he fought in the British Army. Subsequent articles record that Wilson studied at the University of Sydney; there is no mention of Melbourne: this might be an error. He is also listed as being in WA by 1906, when he is supposed to have been at Melbourne, but its possible he was studying in England in 1915 when he enlisted in 1915 and became a fellow of the Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (London).
