Douglas Michael MERRIMAN

5410609 WO1 (ret) Douglas Michael Merriman 709 Sig Tp & 110 Sig Sqn Vietnam It is with sadness and regret that we have been advised of the passing of another valued servant of Australia and the Royal Australian Corps of Signals. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends. When I first met Doug in 1966, I was a young soldier at Balcombe doing my first basic operator course. He was a WO2 and a beacon of light in a sometimes grey world of conformity demanded at that time. His refreshing views and sense of humour made my, and others, journey into the Corps easier. His nickname will live forever among the Corps and he will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.
