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

Sad news. I also served with him on Stalwart, found him to be a decent bloke. Vale Allen.  _________________  Chris O'Keefe R43136 Ex WO Chippy 19th MOBI Intake July 65 to July 85 HMAS Nirimba X 4 -Penguin-Sydney-Queenborough - Creswell - Moreton - Stalwart - Platypus - Coonawarra Reconstruction Team 76 - Platypus - Hobart - Cerberus - FHQ - Coonawarra.

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.
