Email from Bill Fowler: 190723
G’day Cal,
I recall working briefly with Les Host in the later 70’s when he was transferred to Bankstown on rotation as Sergeant. What a great bloke. He performed GD’s in plain clothes. He seemed to enjoy GD’s and was keen as mustard.
We young constables enjoyed working with Les on 19-1 or 19-2 as he was very knowledgeable and encouraged us.
He always involved himself. I am pleased to say I met and worked with Les Host, even though it was briefly.
Condolences to the Post family.
RIP Les.
Bill Fowler
I believe Les was a relative of mine, I never had the pleasure of meeting or speaking with him. However Les was fond of speaking about me. RIP Les.
