Don Avard by Royale Studio, 1958

An Australian who served in the Navy, making a name as a boxer. He headlined Royale's first ad (see Timeline 57.2), was their first cover feature (above), lived with Clavering for a while (Timeline 58.2) and became part of 'the firm'. He knew both John Barrington (58.2) and Basil Clavering, possibly quite well!
