I am sorry it has taken so long to hear of your passing.
As your BK for a few years Johnno LA, you were the atypical 'Aussie Digger'.
Bombardier one day, Gunner the next but a true professional on the gun. It was an honour to serve with you.
May you rest in peace.

Gail,
I was proud to be able to call Johnno one of my mates. He was the on "jews harp" player I ever knew. May he rest in peace.

It is with a heavy heart that today I learnt of "Johnno's" passing. I shared a room with Johnno whilst In 104 Battery at Ingleburn post Vietnam. Johnno's gentle spirit and humblness I will never forget. I shall never forget you mate. Rest in Peace.

Mate, I have only now learned of your passing. We served together in the best Unit ever and you were one of the bright stars, always smiling and making others laugh. All the best brother til we meet again.

Dear Gail, So sorry to hear of Johnno's passing. Please forgive my late tribute, but I've only just been advised of his passing. I always had a great time when getting together with Johnno - he was a gentle and genuine bloke who was held in high esteem by all.

Thinking of you, Tim Bakker

We never got to meet you Len, but we had heard about you from your darling sister, Gail.
As Peter is a "brother' (also a Vietnam Veteran and was in 12 Field ), he mourns the loss of another brother.
May you rest in peace as you watch over your loving family.

Twelve months ago we received word from Thailand, that your long battle with cancer had ended
Our hearts were broken, & tears flowed,we never got to say goodbye, but memories will live forever.

Anzac Day, a foggy morning, clears to a beautiful sunny day morning. My support person has taken me down to the street to watch the Anzac March along with a friend of mine. This is her 2nd time to come along to watch the march.
It would have been the largest crowd I've seen for a very long time. Sadly the amount of oldest veterans have become so much smaller. Those who do come to the march in incapable of walking are driven down the street to the park in vintage cars.
The amount of schools & kids is a sight to see. All schools participate wearing their uniforms with pride & big proud smiles
Schools bands playing as they all march along.
I always shed some tears, thinking of you both. And others.
At home I set up a small little table with Dads & your Army pictures candles & poppy flowers. To show my personal thoughts & memories of two extremely special people.
       My Dad & older Brother.
Love ❤️ to you always.
