Funny Bunny? edit

The book, A Poor Sort of Memory which recalls the early history of Duntroon mentions that Bunny got his nickname from "the famous British tennis player of the day." The tennis player referred to is probably Henry "Bunny" Austin. This suggests that the article's explanation of the nickname is incorrect.

The appellation 'Bunny' is a traditional British nickname of the first half of the 20th century and was generally applied to lads who had a lot of success with the ladies (Think about what rabbits are well known for).
