Last week, I saw your post on the 7RAR website about the death of your neighbour, Russell Jones.
Russell was my first husband (1970s) and the father of my daughter. Despite us all being estranged for many many years, she was shocked and saddened to hear of his death.
We know he is buried at Lilydale Memorial Cemetery and we are hoping that he didn’t pass alone. Are you able to fill me in how he was before his death?
Hi John you maybe don’t remember me we met in Holsworthy when 7RAR was forming up for the second tour.
You knew Bruce Read who did training at Ingleburn before going to Officer school, I think you are the same bloke.
I am living in Vietnam with my family,(Viet) over here, your name came up in conversation.
My full name is Darrell Raymond O’Keeffe. cheers AKA Hookey,
As The Editor of The Scheyvillian, the newsletter of The Officer Training Unit Association, I am trying to write an obituary for Brendan Paul O’Brien. His DoB is given on the DVA Nominal Roll for SVN as 17 Feb 1945. He was a “Nasho’ commissioned at OTU and served with 7 RAR March 1967 to April 1968. There is a Brendan Paul O’Brien, born 17 Feb 1945 who died in Ascot Vale, Melbourne, on 24 May 1969. While it looks likely that it is, I am trying to confirm that it is the same man. Does the 7 RAR Association have any information on the death of former 2Lt Brendan Paul O’Brien?
