Such a respectful tribute to a Rotuman man who, when he joined the Fijian Army, surely had no idea how many lives he would touch and impact to such a degree.

He seemed to be very strong, fair and brave. Sorry you’ve lost another friend Bob.
Take care.
Julian.

Ducket here, I contacted you about a year ago about my friendship with Fred back in Brunei in the early 80′s

I was lucky enough to have been an honery member of the Sergeants Mess and again was lucky to have been a friend of Fred’s. My memories of him are not of the military kind but of a wonderful man who had a great influence on my life in the very short time I knew him. There really was no one like him.

RIP my friend,
Yours aye,
Ducket.

Of course the Police never, ever, ever lie. Just look at Hillsborough for a shining example of police exactitude.
