    Raymond Trembath "Trem"

    Sorry to say NZ lost Trem yesterday, a true legend and a great loss to many who knew him.

    What a bugger.
    Still, he went out on his own terms.

    Bumped into him hobbling down Home valley about 18 years ago. He'd split his boot and foot open with a slipped axe swing about four days prior about 80km away, and had just steeled himself to get out under his own steam. They don't make them like that any more.
    RIP Ray.

    Many stories told by him when he was around the house - most funny, some illegal and even funnier!

    One of a kind man. Humble.

    Lost for words. RIP Mate.

    Yup, real good bugger, re mounted my father's medals for the price of a bottle of Johnny Walker, he then took me through his impressive collection.

    Always good for a yarn when I bumped into him at the range.

    Served with this fine man for a few years. One of the best soldiers I ever met, a breed apart.

    Of someone would do me the favour of messaging me how it all went down I’d appreciate the closure.

    Ta.

    Ake Ake Kia Kaha Trem, onward brother.
    Warm Barrels!

    I did not know this old soldier and from a quick search I can see that is because he enlisted two and a half years after me so I was in Singapore when he was doing his basic training and our paths never crossed. Nonetheless, it is always sad when I learn of a former serviceman passing and particularly so when they have served in the same Corps and Regiment. His appears to have been a life well lived and from remarks here and in articles that I have just read, he was well regarded and has clearly left his mark on this world in a positive way. Rest In Peace. ONWARD.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded

    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
