RIP Jeff, your watch is done.

Many in this network will remember Des Harper. I recall him aa a tough but fair man in his days as an RPO (Regulating Petty Officer I think they were called) at NIRIMBA around 62/63. I later met him socially when he was a Master-at-Arms. I was aware that he was nimble footed in the boxing ring, but nimble footed on the ballroom dance floor- well there is a surprise!! RIP Des Bob Mummery |

From: Ian Pfennigwerth Sent: Wednesday, 16 June 2021 12:36 PM To: 'Bob Mummery' Subject: RE: Passing of Desmond Victor HARPER A.M. Ex WOCoxn Hi Bob, Des was the Admiral’s Cox’n when I was Flag Lieutenant to FOCAF in 1970-72. ‘Tough’ was an apt description, but I must say that he tried his very hardest to deliver what was required, and you have to be nimble-footed where admirals are concerned. Des was awarded an AM on Australia Day 1976 for 27 years of devoted service to the Navy. Starting as a gunnery rate in 1948, he served in Australia II, Sydney III , Culgoa in Korea, the Gunnery School in Cerberus, Melbourne II and Yarra III (commissioning crew) and he also commissioned Perth II. After transferring to the Coxswain Branch in 1967, he served in Kimbla, Nirimba, Vampire II, FHQ and Brisbane and was promoted WO in 1974. After another tour in Nirimba he returned to sea as Cox’n in Melbourne before retiring in 1979. A senior sailor of the old school, and I’m sorry to learn of his passing. Ian Pfennigwerth |
