Dear Adrian,

Sadly, we have received word that, Harry SMITH, passed away on Sunday 20 August 2023 at the Buderim Private Hospital, after a short stay.   Harry had not been well for some months and had to be hospitalized.

As we all know, Harry was OC D Coy at the Battle of Long Tan, and served in 2 RAR during the Malayan Emergency, 1 CDO Regt & PTS plus other units.
