Reconnaissance Platoon
1411066 Pte. Darryl “Butch” Martin Moroney
3 April 1946 – 5 Dec 2014
Butch was a regular soldier and originally a member of the Anti-Tank Platoon. He volunteered and was selected for Reconnaissance Platoon and was forward scout for Bill Harvey’s 61B patrol, a role in which he excelled and relished. Butch had been ill for some time and typical of his stoic character he quietly succumbed to his cancer surrounded by his family and friends. Butch was a typical laid back Queenslander where no task was too daunting and challenge insurmountable as he showed throughout his fight with cancer, wonderfully supported by Leigh his wife. He was a unique individual and we are all going to miss that mischievous smile when you knew something was up. He was a great friend and supporter of everyone in the Platoon and that’s pretty special. Michael Vonberg MC Commander Reconnaissance Platoon
