  1. R.I.P. Smithy. Fondy remembered from my Katoomba Days (36 Division) You were a funny young bastard then. Godspeed mate.

    1. Thanks Rodger for sharing your message and memory of our brother during his posting at Katoomba. I loved you fellas showing up at my ward at Katoomba hospital. We are so proud of him and of his dedication to his work. Miss him every day.

      1. He was a fantastic young fella. Never a dull moment with “Smaush” around. My sincerest condolences to all.
