=; FYI: Copied this from the HMAS Nirimba. RAN Apprentice Training Establishment Facebook page... :evil3:

"Hello. With the blessing of his family, and with sadness, I must inform you that Mal Creagh crossed the bar early this morning.
I believe Mal was in the 10th intake in Jan 61 at HMAS Nirimba. He was also a member of the commissioning crew on HMAS Brisbane DDG41,
also serving on her in the Vietnam conflict in 1969. His funeral will be in Brisbane TBA. R.I.P."

:-k Whilst Mal was 3 terms ahead of Ned and myself, I remember him well, although our paths never crossed after Nirimba...

Not sure what branch Mal was, but it's always sad to learn of another MOBI Brother crossing the bar...

VALE: Rest on your oars, Mal, your journey's done... R.I.P. [-o<

I never had the pleasure of serving with Malcolm, but still sad to lose another member of the MOBI family. My condolences to his family and friends.

His Vietnam Service consisted of:

Malcolm Creagh - R42437

3 x Vung Tau trips in HMAS Sydney in 1965/66

1 x Gun Line Tour in HMAS Brisbane in 1969

Vale Mal, your watch is done.

Served with Mal during a posting to Nirimba. He was "greenie" instructor and I was in the ME school. Good memories. We carpooled for a while as he lived at Kingswood and I was living in South Penrith.
Vale Mal, RIP and may you have fair winds and following seas.
Condolences you your family and friends.
