    Members assistance asked for to locate relatives of Vietnam KIA.

    Just received this request. Aulro's a broad church, some one may know.

    ARE YOU ABLE TO ASSIST IN LOCATING ANY RELATIVES OF DAVID JOHN DUBBER



    Hi all,


    Is anyone able to assist Tony Cox in locating any relatives of David John DUBBER. Request and details are below.

    Regards

    George





    I am requesting your assistance to locate relatives of David John DUBBER, MID
    Refer: 3RAR Honour Roll in Support 1971 & David John Dubber | The Australian War Memorial

    Service number: A317809 Rank: Corporal
    Unit: 9 Squadron
    Service: Royal Australian Air Force
    Conflict: Vietnam, 1962-1975
    Date of death: 7 June 1971
    Place of death: Vietnam (air operations)
    Cause of death: Helicopter crashed and burned

    Cemetery or memorial details: Garden of Remembrance, VictoriaFawkner, Moreland City, Victoria, Australia.
    New Lawn Area East Section B Compartment A Grave 48 Memorial ID 37531861
    Source: AWM153 Roll of Honour cards, Vietnam

    Relatives of Flt Lt Everett Murry Lance family are well known to 3 RAR B Company members.

    Cpl David John Dubber and Flt Lt Everett Murry Lance were both KIA 7th June 1971 during Operation Overlord during the Battle of Long Khanh.

    During the weekend of the 5th, 6th and Monday 7th June 2021 the Commemoration of the Battle of Long Khanh will occur. It is proposed that both the above KIA

    be honoured in the closing ceremonies of the Australian War Memorial during that time.

    It is imperative that we locate Next of Kin for Cpl David John Dubber. To date I have been unsuccessful.



    My limited information is that David had a daughter possibly by the name of Liz and I believe that she may have lived in Victoria somewhere. That's all I know.



    Please consider this request and make contact with anyone that you think may know details for David’s Next of Kin.

    Any information will be provided to the Department of Veterans affairs and the Australian War Memorial to assist the family to partake in the Commemoration Service

    proposed for the 7th June 2021 and the Last Post ceremony on a date to be determined. DVA and the AWM are well placed and practised in managing relatives at these

    times. Any other assistance if any will be provided at their request.

    Please reply if you have any information concerning David’s Next of Kin (Any/Every small piece of info might assist.)

    Regards

    Tony Cox
    Organiser/Coordinator

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    bob, I reposted this on my firearms forum. We have quite a few vets over there, and many with military history in their family, so you never know.
