Hi Ron

Informed by Terry Dack, Paul Gallagher passed away on 1 January 2010.



Received news from Alan Rogers JR's reunion Skull passed away on 31 Dec 09. No details were given.




It is with sadness that I advise of the passing of EMWR Arthur William "Twitch" Hawkins - R94034 from mesothelioma this morning.

Twitch travelled to Vietnam on Vendetta in May 1966, Brisbane from March 69 to October 69 and Sydney in November 1972.

Funeral details will be forwarded later.


Graham B Dunn lives down the road from Bills place in Toogoolawah and has been there for Bill during his illness with Mesothelioma and recently the onset of bone cancer
From: Grahame B. Dunn

(Sound on, Please)


Bill served for twenty years in the Royal Australian Navy, and served in Viet Nam.

While in the Navy, Bill came in daily contact with Asbestos. Years later, he was diagnosed with Mesothelioma, an asbestos related cancer. You could say that Bill gave his life for his (our) country, way of life, and freedoms, like so many before him. That makes him a 'Hero', to me.



He wasn’t a ‘Great’ man, but he was a ‘Good’ man who thought more about others and what he could do for them before he thought of himself. Australia would benefit from having more men like him.



“R.I.P.” Bill.
