Colin served with 7 RSU in the North-Western area and later in Borneo as a DMT driver.

He had been ill for twelve months and it was a tremendous effort for him to attend a function in Canberra for the unveiling of the Association plaque in August, 1996, but it gave him great pleasure to meet some of his former comrades in 7 RSU.

Colin died of renal failure on 24^th November, 1996 in Maclean hospital, NSW.
