In reply to Tahnee.

Hi Tahnee I’m afraid I don’t know any more about Tommy, however, if he was employed as a police tracker the WA Police Historical Soc may be able to help with more info. You can contact them on their website at – https://policewahistory.org.au/

Hi Moya, I also looked up Harold Wakeford Scott (1911-1985). He is listed at Fremantle Cemetery, (ashes taken by administrator), but shows he lived in Collie. There seemed to be no listing of Darkan. What a story and how amazing are the black-fella trackers.
