It is with regret I advise that Ivan Goile marched off to the Gunpark in the Sky on the 26th of September, at Waikato hospital. Ivan served for many years as RNZEME LAD Tiffy with 4(G) Mdm Bty and with 3 Fld Regt, and was awarded a BEM in 1978.

Our Royal NZ Artillery Band is taking part. The NZ Police Auckland Choir has since been added to the cast, and the Guest of Honour is the RtHon Sir Don McKinnon ONZ GCMG.
Greetings, I'm sure that you'll have a grand time in Linton Camp and I'm disappointed that other commitments prevent me from attending.
