Have just been advised that Reg Bandy, RSM 2nd tour and WW2 and Kapyong Veteran has passed away. There are no funeral details at the moment but will advise when I have them.
He would have been 95 next month.
Go here for his bio and here for a an interview at the ABC
A note from his family said:
“Just to let you know Reg passed away on Saturday at 8.50 pm. Reg died peacefully in his sleep without pain or complications. As always, Reg went out on his own terms, on his own and dressed in his 7RAR shirt. Thank you for your many kindnesses.
Susan, Bronwyn and Clayton Bandy.”
RIP sir
During my 30 years service, i have met and ‘soldiered on’ with some very fine and dedicated men and women. People I will never forget. Good leadership and professional conduct examples passed on by Reg Bandy have made me a better person. It was my privilege to have served under Reg as my RSM during my tour to SVN with 7RAR 1970/71.
