He was some sort of cousin of my Dad's. My Dad was Ralph - most of the Shalless's of that generation knew him well because he played footy for the the mighty Dees (4 senior games) and later also 17 games for the Hawks (although they were the Mayblooms then). He had brothers Alan (who died in WW2) and Geoff. Shalless Drive in Camberwell (and the associated Scout Hall) are named after Alan. Their father was Percival. Unfortunately they have all passed away now. I have heard of Harry in family discussions a long time ago, but never met him or knew anything about him really. My cousin Neal (son of Geoff) has a son named Robert. Regards Greg Hi Robert,

Harry Derwent was my father and I'm fairly sure Keith Shalless was a cousin of Dad's. He and my father could have been twins.
