I was advised today that Yogi passed away last Tuesday and was cremated on Friday 9 December at the request of his son in Australia. Sadly his funeral details were not, to my knowledge, promulgated and therefore Yogi's farewell was not very well attended.
I would appreciate information regarding Yogi's Army service etc as I have been asked to write a eulogy for the Papakura RSA Newsletter.
It seems sad that Yogi's passing slipped through our networks thus indicating we should keep closer vigilance on our older members.
Contact Jeff Waters with info about Yogi's service years.
Yogi Young was something of a legend. If you have a story about him, send it to Muzzle Flashes or the Editor of The New Zealand Gunner.
