Dr Bastiaan spoke about the methodology of his work and the remarkable sacrifices made by Old Collegians in the war.
‘We as a school lost the highest percentage of Collegians flying bombers over Europe in 1940 to 1945. The loss was terrible.
‘It is with great pride that I hand over my work to the school, and I hope that the great work and sacrifice that our Old Collegians made is not forgotten,’ Dr Bastiaan said.
The plaque is the first of three to be unveiled across Wesley College’s metropolitan campuses, with Elsternwick and Glen Waverley campuses due to unveil plaques in the coming weeks.
