LCPL Dennis ‘Pommie’ Pickstock, late of Iluka NSW, died on Wednesday 12 February. He had been suffering from kidney problems for many long years.
Pommie served with 1 Section, 4 Platoon, B Company as machine gunner, from 8 February 1969 until 5 March 1970 and returned to Australia aboard HMAS Sydney. He is remembered as a popular and funny digger and attained his stripe just before the tour ended. - Gary Townsend
