Sad MOBI news,

Bob Van Lawick, as advised by Dave Chamberlain. I have no other detail although I do remember him well from NIRIMBA but never ran across him again!

Perhaps someone in the network can advise a little on Bob's career.

Bob Mummery

Bob's Vietnam Service as a CSAW included:

2 x Escort Trips to Vung Tau in HMAS Vampire in 1965/66.

RIP Bob Van Lawick
