John LANE Obituary

As an ex black hatter of Dunedin in the 1960s and early 70s I remember John fondly. Those days in 2 Recce Sqn and 2 Scots were great fun.
I still don't know how he got his large frame into the turret of an M113 armoured personnel carrier!
I haven't had contact with John in the past 50 years, but have happy memories of our time together in 2 Scots My thoughts are with you Helen and all the family,

It is with Great sadness I hear if the passing of John. I served as SSM with Major J.J. Lane in the 2nd squadron NZ Scottish and he was an inspirational leader and a gentleman. I had the honor of catching up with John several times in at his home in Gibbston after we both left the services Deepest sympathy to Helen and family. Stand Easy Soldier . MO RICH MO DHUTHAICH

Deepest sympathy to Helen and family. John was a well-loved Army Officer. We both came from Dunedin, and both have been awarded the Efficiency Decoration for conspicuous military service. I accompanied John on TLX84 (RIMPAK) in Hawaii. I will miss his pleasant and happy demeanour.

I remember how glad I was to learn John was a fellow Armour officer when we met for the first time in Damascus
