Sad News
As reported in today's West Australian

It is with sad heart that I report the passing of Warrant Officer Naval Shipwright Allen Byrne

His funeral will be at Karrakatta Cemetery 1000 on the 12/02/16

I served with Allen on HMAS Stalwart and HMAS Stirling he was a stake holder at Stirling being there before its commissioning


Yours Aye
Viv

In my previous post I said that Allen was a top Guy, actually Allen was one of the best. I worked with Allen, for Allen and Allen became my most stalwart supporter, I believe we achieved much because we put aside rank and just got on and did what was necessary. A very good man, bless him.
