Terminally-ill Vietnam veteran recites Ode of Remembrance one last time
Lower Hutt Vietnam veteran Bob Davies read the Ode of Remembrance at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior on Tuesday.
Davies was a former Sergeant Major of the Army and served in Vietnam when he was 20.
Davies, who has terminal prostate cancer, stood beside the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior in Pukeahu National War Memorial Park in Wellington on Tuesday to read the ode, watched by mates from the Returned and Services Association.
Moe mai rā, Nicholas.
