As many are now aware our great mate and stalwart of 1RAR, Grahame Tucker passed away on Sunday night while on a Battlefield Tour in Vietnam with 1RAR Veterans of the Vietnam War.
I have spoken with Tuck’s wife Dianne Tucker, and she has advised me that the Tour Guide in Vietnam has been very helpful in liaising with Vietnamese Authorities and the Australian Consulate.
Tuck’s cause of death is not yet known, however Dianne said she last spoke to him on Saturday night and he wasn’t feeling very well. Sadly, he passed in his sleep Sunday night.
On behalf of the 1RAR Association and the wider 1RAR Community, our deepest condolences and sympathy goes out to Dianne and their extended family and many friends.
Tuck was a legend of 1RAR, a bloody good soldier and a great mate to us all. I will advise you all further on any details as they came to hand.
Rest in Peace old mate, until our next reunion
LEST WE FORGET
