LEST WE FORGET

A Warrior’s Farewell

Go now and travel beyond the void
Seek the green column and when you meet
See once more those smiling faces
Hear again laughter and sounds of marching feet

No more the visions of the bloody past
Gone are the nightmares and lingering pain
Soon you will be home at long, long last
United with fallen comrades once again

And when the final roll is called
Another page of history complete
You will rest with brave spirits such as they
In a camp where you will find restful sleep

Go swiftly now and seek your past
Your duty done for all to tell
With pride of who and what you were
And now we bid you a fond farewell

George Mansford – December 2007

Homeward Bound

I saw the shooting star burning so bright
Falling, falling, fading and soon from sight
So distant and yet so near
In its wake, a soldier’s journey so very clear
Duty, sharing, caring, courage and sometimes fear
No longer a mortal in life’s short race
A contented spirit bound for home somewhere in distant space
This fiery trail I saw tonight marks a warrior’s farewell
Leaving behind another legacy of proud deeds to tell

George Mansford © April 2012

The Soldier stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
Step forward now, Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?’
The soldier squared his shoulders and said,
‘No, Lord, I guess I ain’t.
Because those of us who carry guns,
Can’t always be a saint.
I’ve had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough.
And sometimes I’ve been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny,
That wasn’t mine to keep…
Though I worked a lot of overtime,
When the bills got just too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear..
And sometimes, God, forgive me,
I’ve wept unmanly tears.
I know I don’t deserve a place,
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around,
Except to calm their fears
If you’ve a place for me here, Lord,
It needn’t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don’t, I’ll understand.
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod.
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgement of his God.
‘Step forward now, you Soldier,
You’ve borne your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven’s streets,
You’ve done your time in Hell.’

Barry Blanchette – NSW FALLEN POLICE

I remember Carey telling me he was walking downhill at Long Tan. It had been raining and the rubber trees appeared to be glistening. Unfortunately it was not the rubber trees but the NVA & their weapons.

He was wounded and laid for quite some time before being extracted.

Harold Peter (Harry)
31.01.1947 – 26.08.2018Harry Peter McKinnon was born in Sydney 31.01.1947. An identical twin to brother Sidney who passed away at the early age of 6. He grew up in Seven Hills with brothers Paul, Danny, Terry, Anthony, and sister Ann. Harry was the eldest of 6 and went to Seven Hill’s Primary School and completed High School at Seven Hill High.

Harry left home at an early age and within a short time, took up a position within the NSW Police Department as a Public Servant at the age of 17. The Police Department was to become a major part of his life spending 43 years on the job in which he held high level positions across Sydney Metro Area.

Harry’s infectious character drew people to him his whole life. Even until the very end, all that encountered him, loved his unique sense of humour, his cheeky smile and witty rebuttal’s. Harry was much loved by friends and family and will be terribly missed.

RIP Senior Constable Susan Olivia Bailey????

Ladies and Gents,

VALE

Senior Constable Susan Olivia Bailey 4026013.

At the time of her passing, Susan was attached to Mt Ommaney Station but prior to that, she was a long-serving member of the Fortitude Valley Police family. It has been said that Susan’s smile could light up a room…

On Tuesday 21 August 2018, Susan tragically took her own life. It’s not for us to judge how or why Susan took this path, but it’s probably fair to say right at the end she felt alone.

Sadly, this could not have been further from the truth as attested by the outpouring of love demonstrated in the comments subsequent to our earlier post, but in these situations (and there have been just too many), feelings of being alone, forsaken, isolated, forlorn and abandoned are all too common.

It is incumbent on each and every one of us to do everything in our power to ensure that our friends, our colleagues, OUR blue family members are not left to feel this way. It is up to us to take some time out of our own busy schedules to check on our mates and if required, firmly and unequivocally intervene.

It’s heartbreaking to think that in 2018, in an ever shrinking world being as connected as it ever was, that a feeling of being ‘alone’ can yield such catastrophic results time and time again.

In the meantime, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our Police brethren in their grief. In time we will celebrate how Susan lived rather than how she died.

BLUE HOPE stands ready.

Ted Collins – NSW Fallen Police FB Group 9 August 2018

With all due respect. I knew George as a police prosecutor at Bankstown.
I also did a prang when he was off duty, riding his motorcycle home. He got injured when a driver failed to give way. Later that driver pleaded not guilty. Another top prosecutor Bob King ever alert noticed that the driver sat awkwardly in the witness box. It was revealed that he the driver was blind in his right eye. George was granted money in third party claim and set up his own hire car business.
Rest in peace mate.

Rossco Wilson – NSW Fallen Police FB Group 9 August 2018

RIP George, your battle with cancer is over. You & Barb fought the good fight. I first Met George when he was a Police prosecutor at Bidura Children’s Court. He was a tough but fair prosecutor & woe betide the unprepared Constable at a hearing. My wife & Barb later met through a TAFE course unrelated to the police force & became good friends. George was a pussy cat out of the job but was & remains a good friend.

Man charged over missing teenager

SYDNEY: A man appeared in a Sydney court yesterday charged with sexual assault and kidnapping after police raided a property in Sydney’s west earlier in the day.

Police had found a 17 year-old girl who allegedly had been abducted as she walked home from school on Monday.

Vanna Chea, 23, of Hinchinbrook, was remanded in custody in Bankstown Local Court after being charged with kidnapping and four counts of sexual intercourse without consent.

He also was charged with breach of a personal violence order to stay away from the victim and her family, which was issued in Fairfield Court four weeks ago, on June 22.

The case was adjourned to Monday so a Cambodian interpreter could be found.

Police Prosecutor Sergeant George Kains said the sexual intercourse was alleged to have occurred between July 18 and yesterday.

Chea was an Australian resident, he said.

Blood-stained clothes, rifle found near suspect’s house

SYDNEY: Blood-stained clothing and a sawn-off rifle were found near the house of a man charged with the murder of his flatmate, Burwood Local Court was told yesterday.

Mr Martin Kluska, 27, of Dalton Street, Dubbo, in western NSW, was charged with the murder of Mr Bruce Mannion, 37, with whom he had lived for 10 weeks at Dubbo. Mr Mannion was reported missing last Wednesday by his parents.

Police Prosecutor Sergeant George Kains told the court that Mr Kluska had assumed the identity of Mr Mannion since his disappearance, using his car and withdrawing money from his bank account.

Sergeant Kains said blood stained clothing and a sawn-off .22 rifle were found in the garage of the Dalton Street house.

He said what appeared to be two bullet holes were found in Mr Mannion’s car which Mr Kluska had been driving.

Mr Kluska’s girlfriend told police that the defendant had scrubbed out the boot of the car and dumped property at Centennial Park, the

court was told.

Since Mr Mannion’s disappearance Mr Kluska had withdrawn $12,000 from Mr Mannion’s bank account and had spent four nights at the Boulevarde Hotel with two women.

Mr Kluska also had placed a $2000 deposit on a car and attempted to use Mr Mannion’s car as security to buy a motorbike.

He was arrested yesterday when attempting to collect the $2000 deposit from a car yard on Parramatta Road at Burwood.

Public Solicitor Ms Dorothy Hughes, in a bail application, said the defendant strongly denied the allegations and had not breached previous bail conditions.

The court was told that Mr Kluska was on parole until 1996 after serving sentences for previous convictions involving kidnapping and breaking and entering offences.

Magistrate Derrick Hand refused bail and remanded Mr Kluska in custody to appear in Burwood Court on August 4.

Man killed mother: police

SYDNEY: A 22-year-old man who allegedly kicked and punched his mother to death was found asleep beside her body on Christmas morning, Waverley Local Court was told yesterday.

Mr Robert Craig Taylor, of Glebe, was charged with having murdered 45-year-old Mrs Barbara Taylor.

The prosecutor, Sergeant George Kains, said it was alleged that Mr Taylor had returned to the Glebe house with his girlfriend at 2.30am on Thursday after attending a Christmas party and attacked his mother after an argument with his girlfriend.

A Justice of the Peace, Mr Peter Scanlan, refused bail and adjourned the matter for mention to the Coroner’s Court on January 5.

Roger H Mayer

Friday 20 July 2018

I would like to celebrate the Life and Times of my best mate. PD Survivor Jeff.

He came in to the world on 21/5/2007 with some siblings.

Father NSW Police Dog Haas of some Notoriety.

Mother a NZ Police Brood bitch with poor mothering skills. She ate all but two of the pups.

A surrogate mother, also a NSW PD killed the 2nd last one.

The remaining pup, Survivor Jeff.

His Grand father by all accounts was a well respected and feared South African Police Dog. His seed much sought after.

Young Jeff proved to be a bit of a hoodlum when being puppy walked and very high spirited.
I was due to re-team in June 2008. As a 52 year old Sergeant Dog Handler who was never the fastest bloke on the track I was given Jeff. Partly as punishment by the Ma’am – ( Supt Julie Middlemiss ). I think she believed, from prior progeny from HAAS that all failed to become police dogs, Jeff would follow suit.

I met Jeff, after some debate with Ma’am saying I needed time to get some sort of a bond two weeks before the course commenced at Bringelly in June 2008.
I met this stringy 12 month old ( B 21st May) dog and immediately felt a bond with him. Took him home and kept my mouth shut at what a cracking good dog I had in case someone changed their mind.

I commenced the course with some great blokes and dogs ( I may be corrected but this might be one of a few, if any, who all commenced and completed the course with same dogs)
Mark Smith and Harry, John Basan and Bernie, Gav Lawrence and Odie (Bodie), Paul Cornale and Boags.

I was still the slowest bloke on the course with one of the fastest dogs. Jeff made me look good; and for the next 10 years made me look good.
Great course with some great blokes. I was very fortunate to win the “Chuck Connor” trophy by about half a point from Mark Smith who with Harry had great obedience.

Jeff was not a brilliant Police Dog nor I a brilliant handler. He did everything I asked of him and then gave more. Being a supervisor I found myself locked in the supervisors office most shifts counting glocks answering phones, doing CMF, PMS, COPS everything but catching crooks.
Every chance I got I would escape and hunt developing Jeff. He loved the work.

In 2009 an opportunity came up to travel to Queensland Police Academy to train in Human Remains Detection (Cadaver) There were two positions. Paul Cornale and Boags were selected and I threw my hat in the ring.
The bosses fought but I begged and even cried I think to be allowed to go.
Bruno,(Paul Cornale) Boags, Jeff and I went!

I spent a month with Bruno in the antiquated barracks in Oxley loving every second of it.

Jeff excelled himself in the course and we were all accredited as Human Remains detection teams. There was a bit of QLD NSW rivalry but the QLD guys were so good to us. Best dog on the course was Tank handled by Ben Mac. What a cracking good dog. Little tough bastard bit like a croc. And Ben built like a bull didn’t need a dog.

I was so happy to be away from the office, phones PMS, CMT, COPS S.H.I.T. CMF and the rest playing with smelly body pieces and skid marked undies was heaven.

We returned to Sydney and increased the Cadaver dogs to 3 from 1 with Dave Cole and OSCAR ( Great Cadaver dog, son of ANJA my previous PD)

Together we did many jobs and Jeff, god bless him loved the work. He would not stop searching to the point I would have to tie him up or put him in the car so he would rest.
I was always very proud to be his handler when looking for missing people with their loved ones present thanking us for our efforts. Working with SCC, Homicide and Gangs Squads, educating them on where likely spots to hide or find bodies and how to get rid of bodies. They always remarked, ” You have thought about this a bit haven’t you “? Worried looks followed.
I was just so happy to be out in the bush with Jeff looking for a body. Jeff always did me proud and, as I said, made me and the Dog Unit look good.

In 2011 the PTSD bus hit me. As a result I was retired on 18th July 2013.
At this juncture I was not thinking properly ( more than usual). I must thank Mick Goodwin the Boss at the time he gave me Jeff. I believe without Jeff, Jane Mayer-Simcock my wife and girls Dayna and Kyrah, Things might have not gone so well.

From 2013 onwards Jeff and I were together, Jane could always find me, Just look for Jeff.

He continued to help people, Training dogs with aggression issues, Rangers how to deal with Dangerous dogs. People with fears of dogs. Everyone who came in to contact with the big fella loved him.
He had no malice or any vices. This may be hard to believe, but many can attest to it, but when working off lead he never chased any game, cat, other dog, roo’s wallaby’s, rabbits. He would just watch them go by and continue searching.

Last week on Wednesday he showed some lameness in his left shoulder. On and off over the last couple of years.
I took him to the vet Saturday started on some anti inflammatories.

Monday I was not happy and went back.

Heavier drugs, X-Rays Tuesday. Lunch time Tuesday shown number of spurs on spine and fused disc on thoracic. Probably accounting for shoulder pain not picked up in previous visits.
We were sending the x-rays to canberra for a specialist to view and looking at CT Scan in Canberra.

Wednesday 18th, 5 years since retirement, Jeff worse. Could not move properly fell on his face having dinner.

I decided on Wednesday it would be his last night – Thursday would be his last day. Put him to bed at foot of our bed and he did not move all night.

Thursday morning 19th he could not get up. I went out with Jane to do the horses. He always comes up. Some how he got to the middle of the hall way. When we got back, he had managed to get to the door to the garage but no further.

I picked him up and took him to the vet where he was put to sleep in the back of his ute with me holding his head.

I took him home and left him in the ute until after lunch. Jane and I went up near the horse sheds to the track where I walk the dogs every day and he was laid to rest in the bush facing the house so he can still look after us.

I will now be able to say g’day every time I walk past.

Jeff thank you for all you did, your patience with a dumb handler ( you probably deserved a better one) your work ethic and care of all our family even Mollie (Cavoodle) who only in the last week spoke to you.

RIP Big Fella

Your Dad

The memories this brings back, one of the many tales about the old Sandstone Police Station at Gosford was that Ted Albury was meticulous about signing the many pads that were in existence in those days.

His standard signature was “Noted E.G. Albury“.

A few fellows who shall remain nameless took it upon themselves to reproduce that signature on every piece of paper that existed in the Station.

Noted E.G.Albury was cropping up on files all around the State and was strongly rumoured to have been seen on the back of a calendar hanging in the Commissioners Office.

The camaraderie and fellowship which existed amongst the troops in those days will forever remain in my memories.
