Just heard the news of Mambo's passing. He was my 1st Sect Cmmdr when I joined the Bn and he always took the time to look out for the Rfn in his section. Always ready to give good advice when needed and willing to help if you dropped yourself in it but were honest with him. A great bloke and true Greenjacket who will be missed by all those who knew him. My sincere condolences to the family.

RIP Mambo

Such very bad news.

I struggle to remember a time when I don't remember Mambo smiling.

The most solid of blokes, in his friendships and his soldiering.

As has been said already, he was a true Jacket, a bloke to admire - a bloke anyone would be proud to call friend.
