Not sure that I served with Graham, but his name is very familiar, maybe a bit of oldtimers kicking ?

Nevertheless, as Brian said it is always a very sad day to see one of the "blackgang" cross the bar!

Vale Graham! RIP, fair winds and following seas.

Am I mistaken, but was Fifi the Training Commander at one stage..? Always thought he was - as previously said - a bit aloof, but I put that down to his RN origins. Thought he was a straight up decent bloke. Don't believe he was TC, the RN'er that was at one stage was, I believe, David Mark Alexande...

That was where the action was at Bob, we also did some training at the Western Suburbs ground/track on week nights (Concord Oval). I do recal you having a trot at along with many others. We didn't do too badly and I recall we reached the club finals of the 4 x 220 yds and I think we (Ted Powell, Dal...

I think your memory is spot on Bob. I got to know "Fifi" pretty well during my time at Nirmba when he started the athletics team up and we competed as a team in the Sydney weekend interclub athletics competition, as well as competing in the NSW cross country competitions. He was a middle d...

Vale Ron, RIP, fair winds and flowing seas.

I can recall Ron's name at Nirimba but I don't actively recall any memory/knowledge of him and I don’t recall serving with him. Still another taken too early, condolences to his family.

I remember Harry as a fairly quiet, amiable and slight bloke at the college of knowledge, who didn't play much rugby in his early days. His great rugby prowess was developed later in the fleet and was something he never lost. Another good tiffy lost to early and that rugby team across the bar is gro...

The email BC has used came from Bob Mummery and WOP was a year ahead of Bob Mummery. Not your intake Smiley.

RIP WOP!

I remember Russ well from Stalwart where we both served some time. A great bloke with a great sense of humour and "adventure". You never knew what he would do next! A sad loss..
RIP Russ, thanks for the memories!

Gary was the engineer on Moresby when I joined her after refit. Very supportive and very capable, a pleasure to have served with him.
Sad to seem him go, condolences to his family.
Vale Gary, RIP, fair winds and following seas.

I knew Dutchy from Nirimba and served with him briefly on Moresby.
Sad to see another "brother" taken so early. Condolences to his family.
Vale "Dutchy" . RIP, fair winds and following seas.
