Frank Hopkinson: Eulogy

The Colonel Commandant of the RNZA, Barry Dreyer, read the Eulogy at Frank's funeral. The text of it is here . . .
Barry reports that Frank was farewelled in good gunner style – a TF Guard and firing party, Gunner Band, senior RF & TF NCO pallbearers led by the RSM, gun carriage, and good representation from every period of Frank’s gunner service. The service was excellent and the family were grateful for the support of the soldiers of the present Regt and the Band for the funeral. It was a job well done for 16 Fd Regt’s longest serving CO.
