This is to advise that Bill Reynolds passed away last Sunday in Brisbane 23/03/2025.
He served with 4 RAR in Vietnam as a Rifle Company commander where for his leadership in combat he was awarded the Military Cross.
If you can provide me with a summary of his service and perhaps a photograph I will add some personal recollections from my service with him and post it on the RARA national website.
Bill and I were Duntroon classmates (1955-1958) and we served together in 1 RAR and at the Jungle Training Centre Canungra.
His funeral service has been a private one.
RIP.

Ray,
From today’s GCB.
Barry and his wife ran the Sallyman at LWC in the early 90s I recall.
I thought I had a photo in my files, but I can’t locate it.
The medals indicate East Timor.
