Recently we lost another of our Platoon members, George Desmet. George passed away quietly in the company of loved ones on the 23rd of August 2019 after a long  battle with dementia, and recently had been undergoing treatment for failing kidneys.

George was born in Junee NSW and although he hadn’t lived there for quite a number of years, in his last months, that was where he considered home. His family is conducting a private family cremation service.

George served in Vietnam in 5 Section and was affectionately known as “Father”.

Our thoughts are with his family.
