R.I.P. Smithy. Fondy remembered from my Katoomba Days (36 Division) You were a funny young bastard then. Godspeed mate.
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.
He was a fantastic young fella. Never a dull moment with “Smaush” around. My sincerest condolences to all.
