Young cemetery in south-west New South Wales contains one grave that made me look twice and a third time.
It is the grave of Noel “Christmas” Carroll born on Christmas day 1937, to Hugh and Lucy. What else would you call your son born on Christmas day when your last name is Carroll? And what other nickname would an Australian be given with the name Noel Carroll, than ‘Christmas’. A nickname he obviously embraced as evident from it being included on the plaque on his grave.
Merry Christmas Mr Carroll and to everyone else.
