Keith was a West Australian, borne in Fremantle on the 9th of September 1931. Keith rose to the rank of Sergeant in the RAA and served with 1st Field Regiment in South Vietnam from 4th February 1969 until 14th February 1970. His tour was with 105th Field Battery and he was described as “a quietly efficient, dependable and a strong and well-respected NCO.” He always ‘got the job done’ with the minimum of fuss, always ensuring that his Diggers were given a fair go. Keith kept in touch with the 105th Battery RAA Association Inc via their newsletter “Tiger Rag”.
Keith passed away from peripheral vascular disease in July 2007.
