From Yvonne Langley Walsh in Sydney
Today at our Commemoration Service to Honour The Timorese Peoples tragic experience WW2, we learned the Last Timorese Commando Z Special Operations (1943) had died, age 98.
Senhor Cancio dos Reis Noronha, with several Timorese Men including his brother Bernadino, was selected for Commando training at Fraser Island, Cairns and Richmond for Z covert operations 1943/44, under command of Capt. Arthur (Steve) Stevenson SRD & War Crimes Investigation 1945.
The photo shows Cancio 4th from Left, and Bernadino 2nd.
We send our condolences respect and prayers to Familia Noronha, in Melbourne Dili and Sydney.
VALE Senhor Cancio dos Reis Noronha
Your valiant heart, courage and compassion places you before your God with confidence where you will be judged most generously. Your history will always be remembered, acknowledged and respected.
