Last Post: Robert Charles (Bob) Forbes

Dispatch received from Les Pye:
Published in the Marlborough Express, Wednesday 5 November 08 was the notice for 66523 Robert Charles Forbes (Bob), date of death 3.11.08 in his 90th year at Wairau Hospital Blenheim and cremated 7.11.08. 
-----According to the late Bob, he was a pre-WWII Regular with his early service in Hamilton.  7 Anti Tank Regt became his parent unit in North Africa.  He (more than often) would express his lack of foresight in not taking up an offer to re-enter RF in 1947/48.
