I received this via Facebook on Tuesday.


RIP...For any ex-Navy personnel who remember WO Pincher (Brian) Martin, ex RN, who spent most of his career at Albatross and a sort stint at Coonawarra - Pincher passed away last night at a Nursing Home in Nowra after suffering a brain haemorrhage.


I was at Coonawarra with Pincher in the late 80's, he was a damn fine fellow and liked a beer or three.

RIP old mate.
