Old Johannian Association

Welcome to the July edition of College Classifieds. The College Classifieds is our digital publication that offers the St John's community the opportunity to advertise their wares and services with fellow Johannians.

Michael George Lyme 'Gus' Mills (Alston 1963), who died on 12 July 2026, was one of Africa's foremost authorities on wild carnivores. His four decades of fieldwork in the Kalahari and Kruger reshaped how South Africa's national parks are managed, and his writing and photography brought that work to a far wider audience than science alone could reach. An Old Johannian of the class of 1963, he was awarded the College's Golden Eagle Award in 2023.

This July marks 110 years since the Battle of Delville Wood. To commemorate this, the Speaker of the City of Johannesburg, the South African Legion, the Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTH) and the South African Delville Wood Commemorative Museum Trust invited representatives from the College to lay a wreath for those who fell during the battle.
