Graeme Black reported that 821427 Lbdr Grace Forbes, No 6 Gun, 161 Battery, Vietnam 1969, has passed away in Raglan. From all accounts Grace was a bit of a recluse and kept to himself. However, in the Mailing Roll for our 40th Anniversary, and the NZOSM Mailing list, had him recorded, then, as 2/33 Maich Rd, Manurewa.
He had never joined RSA or EVSA, but he is a 161 Battery Veteran so someone will remember him.
According to the Herald obituary his funeral service is to be held at Poihakena Marae, Raglan. 11am on Wednesday, 17 August 2011. Messages can be given to Mana Forbes, 022-626-2330
