VALE

2137592 CAPT Rex James Anderson
24 May 1938 – 27 July 2017
Aged 79 Years

It is with deep regret that I inform you of the passing of
2137592 CAPT Rex James Anderson
on Thursday 27 July 2017.

Rex was called up for National Service in the late 1950’s and
after his initial training was enlisted into the CMF for two
years obligatory service. Rex served in 2 Div MP Coy and in
1970 he was seconded into the ARA as a specialist investigator
with the then SIB. Rex was sent to Vietnam with the SIB on
3 Dec 1970 till 2 Dec 1971. At the end of his secondment, Rex
returned to the NSW Police Force where he served until his
retirement as a Superintendent. Rex was a staunch member
of the MPAA and a strong supporter.

Rex was a thorough gentleman who was always willing to nurture,
advise and guide young investigators and to lend a helping hand
wherever required. He will be sadly missed.

LEST WE FORGET

    To Shirley and family, please accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of Rex. I worked at Nundle, Tamworth and surrounding areas from 1956 to 1966 and had the pleasure of being associated with Rex. I have many fond memories and remember his happy nature. Sincere sympathy.
