It is with much sadness that we inform of the passing of a fellow Commando and CVA member, Herbert 'Bert' Smart (No 2 Cdo) who died on 7 February 2013.

Rest in peace Bert.

Email from his wife Heather:

Dear Geoff, Bert passed away on the day after his birthday, on the 8th feb. He needed oxygen at night on several occasions, before being taken to emergency on the 6th evening. He came back to the nursing home the next morning after no more could be done for him, because of lung and heart failure
So he didn't suffer for long and died at 10.30am on Friday 8th.[ that time was 11.30 pm in U.K. his birthday]
He was able to see your card and the nurses sang happy birthday and brought a cake.

I hope you will contact me when you come to Aus., it would be good to meet you and family.

A memorial service will be held at 2.30pm. on thursday 14th. Kind regards Heather Smart.

A salute to a brave no 2 veteran - RIP Bert.
