In Memory of Tony Sonneveld OAM 3rd May 1946 -13th November 2016

摘要

I first met Tony 43 years ago when I attended the inaugural AINDT QLD Branch meeting being chaired by this little old guy standing on a box so he could be seen above the lectern. I would have been 24, and Tony 27 at the time so I'm not sure why I thought he was so much older than me. Tony remembered me back then as this tall skinny guy [well not skinny any more] and I mainly remembered the unusual box on wheels that he had attached to a leash. Apparently the box was given to Tony by his army mates as a stir during National Service intended to enable him to inspect his troop's hats on parade as they were all taller than him.
