SEEKING ASSISTANCE
I received the following message from Holger Koblitz, should anyone be of assistance could you please send me a message.
I would like to make contact with John Robert (Bob) Goldsmith SN: 214005 ex 1RAR
Bob and I went through Kapooka together. We were very close throughout recruit training and corps training Bob joined 1RAR and I went to 3RAR. Bob went to Vietnam with 1RAR (1st tour) 1965-6 and I followed with 5RAR 1966-7. After our tours we lost touch, and I did not want to see anyone from my past for many decades. Bob did come to visit me, but I was still a bit of a recluse at the time; unfortunately. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Holger

I can’t say for certain that this is one and the same, however, a John Robert Goldsmith passed away in 2002 in Edinburgh, South Australia. See … https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/205257657/john-robert-goldsmith
From the Nominal Roll – “John Robert Goldsmith 214005 ex 1RAR” was born in 1941.
The one named in “Find a Grave” was born in 1952, so seems to be not a match.
