We have received advice of the death of Brian Thomas Czislowski. He was 87.
Brian served on the gun line with ‘A’ Field Battery in Malaya in 1958/59.
Then he later retrained as a Physical Training Instructor (PTI) within the
RAA. He had previously topped a PTI course run by the British Army in
Malaya. He did two trips to Vietnam on HMAS Sydney as the PTI WO2, the
first in 1965 and again in 1968. Brian was eventually promoted to WO1 and
finished his time as the WO1 PTI at the School of Artillery North Head. No
exact details of his death are available.
RIP Brian Thomas Czislowski
