Timeline

1910

James William Park (14 February 1910 – 9 February 1943) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1930s.

He died in action, in New Guinea, whilst serving with the Second AIF.

Born in Bendigo on 14 February 1910 to Dr. Alexander Park (1868–1929) and Ethel Marion Park (1881–1966), née Reilly, James William Park had three brothers, Alex, George, and Bob, and three sisters, Ethel, Hilda and Jean.

1919

His father, a general practitioner, moved his practice from Bendigo (having originally practised in Tatura) to Moonee Ponds in 1919, in order to facilitate the education of his children: the boys attended Melbourne's Scotch College, which had not yet moved to Hawthorn and was still in East Melbourne, and the girls attended Melbourne's Presbyterian Ladies' College, also in East Melbourne.

He attended Scotch College from 1919 to 1926.

He then went on to the Dookie Agricultural College, where he excelled in cricket, swimming, and football, as well as in his academic pursuits.

In his second year, he was dux of his class, and in his final year he was second only to the dux.

1930

He graduated from Dookie with a Diploma of Agriculture at the end of 1930.

1932

Recruited from Bass Valley Football Club, in Gippsland, he received his clearance to play with Carlton on 27 April 1932, and having played well for the Second XVIII on the preceding Saturday, he made his senior debut for Carlton at centre half-back, against Hawthorn, on 21 May 1932 (round four).

1935

He married Marjorie Jean Steele (1913–?) on 26 October 1935, and they had one daughter, Joan Millicent Park (later Mrs Schinner).

1938

Park played in the back pocket and was a premiership player with Carlton in 1938, restricting prolific Collingwood forward Ron Todd to three goals (two of which came from free kicks).

In the same season, he was chosen to represent Victoria for the first time in his career.

On Saturday, 28 May 1938, at Princes Park, in a match against Melbourne, which, although having more scoring shots, Carlton lost 14.18 (102) to 16.11 (107) — it was Carlton's first loss for the season — Park took one of the greatest marks of all time.

Playing in the back pocket, in front of the Melbourne goal (having had only four yards of running space), he soared over the Melbourne forward Eric Glass, completing the mark.

In the moment before the picture, Glass stands erect, Park's left heel is at the level of Glass's left shoulder, his left knee is well above Glass's right shoulder, his right leg extended for balance, and the ball is a short distance away.

1941

With his occupation listed as both "clerk" and "manager", Park enlisted in the Second AIF on 12 March 1941.

On Tuesday, 18 March 1941, a senior team training night, Park attended Princes Park as a guest of the Carlton Football Club committee, and he "was presented with a cheque in recognition of his services to the club in the last nine years".

1943

On 9 February 1943, he was killed in action while fighting Japanese forces with the 2/6th Infantry Battalion at the Battle of Wau in New Guinea.
