VALE: 1730804 GRAHAM FREETHY-MANSFIELD – 4 PL B COY 6 RAR 1966/67
Sadly we have received the following news from Dave Thomas:
All of Bravo Company, Vietnam 66/67 and the 6 RAR brotherhood
Norma (older sister) phoned to tell me that Graham passed away earlier today (10.2.22). He was in the hospital (Hinesville, Georgia, USA) at the time recovering from a heart operation.
Graham was in 4 platoon in Vietnam and on completion of NS, he enlisted in the American Army, rising to Master Sergeant.
The funeral for Graham will be this Saturday (Sunday their time USA). A viewing is to be held before a full military funeral.
I believe he has a daughter, Doris, I do not have a phone number.
I will be on behalf of Bravo Company and 6 RAR send a sash to his address in Hinesville, Georgia.
I indicated to Norma I would pass on the sad news to his mates.
RIP, Freethy
Please join us in offering our deepest sympathy to those who will mourn the passing of a loved one. Another 6 RAR family member, taken too soon.
LEST WE FORGET
