At the special request of a Viet Nam veteran, this death notice is hereby being relayed to you and all military veteran personnel listed in my computer address book.
**********
Gunner Kevin Forde, late of 161 Battery, and a Vietnam Veteran died of Agent Orange related cancer yesterday at Waikato Hospital.
Funeral details are not known at this time, however Kevin was a native of Wellington and died whilst on hospital, so please keep your eyes peeled for death notices in the Dominion Post.
The last time I saw Kevin was at the 1996, 161 Battery Reunion in Palmerston North, and I understand that in more recent years he had been very active in the RSA in the Wellington/Johnsonville area.
Please give this email your widest promulgation via your own email loops. Thank you.
