Add my storyBiography contributed by Andrew Dawe
Uncle Bob was born in Tumby Bay South Australia in 1919.
His father was a bank Manager and was posted around the State.
His brother was born in Kadina in 1915 and the family also lived in Port Adelaide and Mt. Barker.
He served on the HMAS Canberra, Kapunda and Hobart.
After the war he was a St John volunteer and returned to the sea helping to start up and volunteer with the SA Air Sea Rescue Squadron at West Beach, South Australia.
Even though his brother was my step-father and he my step uncle I was proud he was my uncle and we enjoyed attending many Anzac Days before he died.
