Major Noel William Hall OAM (25 November 1913 – 18 April 2010) was an Australian soldier and Olympic shooting competitor. At the time of his death he was Australia's oldest Olympian.[1]

Background

Hall was educated at Scotch College, Melbourne, where he joined the Australian Army Cadets, and spent his working life at Hawthorn City Council where he became a health surveyor. In 1939 he won the King's Medal for military rifle shooting.[2]

Hall was a member of the Australian 39th Battalion that fought on the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea during World War II. He subsequently recounted his experiences in a vodcast.[3]

Hall competed in the 100 metre running deer event at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia.[4][5] He also qualified for the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, however, he did not attend due to insufficient team places.[1][6]

Honours

Hall was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) on 26 January 1997 for service to veterans and the community.[7]

In 2008 Hall was chosen to lead the Anzac Day March in Melbourne.[8]
