Further Information:

Darrell Nolan was a 23-year-old from Victoria but since February 1968 was a National Serviceman. He was an Accountant by trade and was a Roman Catholic. He applied for full exemption from military service based on his objection to the Vietnam War. On 28 November his application was dismissed. An apparent precedent had been set with David Monaghan in June 1967 who was granted full exemption based on his opposition to a particular war -the Vietnam War. It is unknown if Darrell  appealed the decision.
