I just heard as well Geordie. Very sad news to loose another of our term. Dick was a great bloke and we will miss him terribly.
I will let the 13th Intake know, as soon as I get more details.

Oh no another MOBI gone. R.I.P. Richard. Thinking of you Barbara. I was in the same cabin as Richard and Bruce Cocks and Mick (Doug) Bludhorn. Always remember screaming around Sydney in Richard’s green flat head V8 Ford Customline. We had a lot of fun and got in a lot of trouble in that car.

It's always sad to learn of another MOBI crossing the bar, far sadder when it's actually one of our own 13th MOBI Intake of July '62...

I still have a vivid memory of the suave, cool, red-haired, 'sprog' in the mustard waistcoat under his jacket, lining up at the clothing store to receive his kit on day #1 at Nirimba...

Richard 'Dick' 'Dutchy' Holland was a quiet achiever, a 'Greenie', well liked and respected by all... My sincere condolences to Barb and the family...

VALE Richard, rest on your oars, your journey's done... R.I.P. Brother...
