English (Update)
Kenneth Edward ENGLISH Update January 2019.
Kenneth English, the discredited former Cronulla RSL Memorial Club Vice President and Cronulla RSL Sub Branch Vice President, who lied for about 20 years regarding his alleged Royal Australian Navy Vietnam War active service, on HMAS Sydney, in 1967 and 1968, has recently been appointed as the Worshipful Master of the Cronulla Freemasonry Lodge, Sydney, New South Wales. A prestigious and honourable position.
The office of Worshipful Master is the highest honor to which a lodge may appoint any of its members.
The honorific "Worshipful" does not suggest that the Master is worshiped, but is used in its original meaning, "worthy of respect"
(Accepted universal principles of regular Freemasonry)
English was recently removed from the ANZMI Home Page Rogues Gallery due to time served. He has just been reinstated.
English is a military fraud and a valour thief. He has no credibility and should be ashamed of himself for his deceit over a very long period of time. The benefits he gained over many years, due to his fraudulent behaviour were immoral. The lies he told to so many about his Vietnam service to gain positions of trust, are also immoral.
Genuine Vietnam War veterans throughout Australia will be appalled at his latest appointment – Worshipful Master.
English was officially cited and ordered in no uncertain terms by RSL NSW State Branch, that he is to never hold any position on any committee within the RSL movement ever again, due to his deceit. He resigned his executive Vice President positions on both Cronulla RSL Club committees due to that order and member dissatisfaction.
He is fortunate that he was not charged by State or Federal Police under the provisions of the Defence Act 1903 - Section 80A - Falsely representing to be a returned soldier, sailor or airman.
Yet he still craves for executive office in a different establishment.
ANZMI contacted Freemasons NSW at the highest level and expressed concerns about the appointment of English as the Cronulla Freemasons Lodge Worshipful Master.
The ANZMI representations have obviously fallen on deaf ears and no response has been received, or is expected..
Apparently his disgraceful behaviour is acceptable to the Freemasonry hierarchy in the State of New South Wales, but not to some ordinary members, who reported his elevation as Worshipful Master to ANZMI.
The Grand Master, Freemasonry, NSW and ACT, Most Worshipful Brother Derek Robson AM, is a well respected former Commissioned Officer in the Royal Australian Navy with genuine Vietnam War active service on, coincidentally, HMAS Sydney in 1968. If he was serious about his current role, MW Bro. Derek Robson AM, would be taking action regarding the appointment of English to his latest position. We wonder who approved it?
The following are the core values of Freemasonry Australia, and the entire planet for that matter -;
Freemasonry is a large fraternal organisation that promotes moral and personal development amongst its members.
Its core values include caring for others, helping those in need and acting with honesty and integrity.
English lacks the core values of honesty and integrity. He has failed the test. He should be ordered to stand down as Worshipful Master, Cronulla Freemasonry Lodge immediately.
Freemasonry NSW, have made it quite clear that the core values they promote are moral development, honesty and integrity within their ranks. It now follows, that if you do not personally conform with those principles as a member, or a Worshipful Master, it does not really matter.
They are, only just words, are they not?
ANZMI will continue to monitor this situation and provide updates as necessary.
Kenneth Edward ENGLISH Update 19 Dec 16
English has now departed from the Sub Branch committee and the RSL Memorial Club Board of Directors.
In 2016, English was directed by NSW RSL State Branch to resign all positions he held at the Sub Branch, and to never stand again within the RSL movement in any capacity. He subsequently resigned as Junior Vice President.
As a consequence of this decision, members of the Cronulla RSL Memorial Club, where English held the position of Senior Vice President, then put the Executive Directors on notice that they wished to hold an Extraordinary General meeting for English to explain his lies about his claimed Vietnam service to members.
When English was notified of this discontent, he resigned the position forthwith.
He is still an ordinary member of the RSL Memorial Club and Sub Branch.
Warren Thomas, close friend of English, and the President of the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch, tried to cover this matter up for a number of years. Thomas was reprimanded by NSW RSL State Branch, for the attempted cover up and inaction. Thomas continues in that role for the present time.
Both Thomas and English should hang their heads in shame for allowing this matter to continue for so long without notifying NSW RSL State Branch, the membership of the Sub Branch or the Memorial Club.
KENNETH EDWARD ENGLISH UPDATE. 17 June, 2016.
We exposed Kenneth Edward English, Senior Vice President, Cronulla RSL Memorial Club and Junior Vice President, Cronulla RSL Sub Branch, as a Vietnam Veteran imposter to the world in 2014. Over many years he persisted with his deceitful, immoral and illegal behaviour. On six known occasions, he claimed that he was a Vietnam veteran who had returned from active service in January, 1968.
In fact, he had not one day of active service, in Vietnam or anywhere else.
His abhorrent and disgraceful behaviour was overlooked and covered up by his close friend Warren Thomas, the current President of the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch. Thomas is also a Director of Cronulla RSL Memorial Club Ltd.
English was duly reported to the senior executive of the New South Wales Returned and Services League of Australia, State Branch, Sydney as an imposter by the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia. (VVFA) and others.
English finally resigned his membership of the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia, Granville in 2015, due to their concerns regarding his fraudulent claims, and our last exposure where we provided conclusive evidence that he was, and is, a Vietnam veteran fraud who had joined that organisation by telling lies about his Royal Australian Navy Vietnam service. He also removed the three VVFA medal riband decal stickers that he had purchased and placed on his motor vehicle.
Following the report to the RSL NSW State Branch, an investigation concluded that English had falsely claimed Vietnam operational service in the Royal Australian Navy.
This was in contravention of the Defence Act 1903 Section 80A. (Falsely representing himself to be a returned sailor, soldier or airman)
As a consequence, English was summoned to RSL NSW State Branch, Sydney, on the 22 February, 2016. He was then directed by the State Branch Executive to, resign his Junior Vice President position of Cronulla RSL Sub Branch, and any other Sub Branch positions immediately, in lieu of such determination being enforced by State RSL.
This was on the basis that his false claims will bring further discredit upon the League and Cronulla RSL Sub Branch. He has been further instructed that "this is to be a permanent termination and he is to never again stand for any position within the RSL organisation".
His President and friend Warren Thomas, who attempted to cover this matter up for years has also received official notification of this direction.
Thomas, photo above, was officially reprimanded by RSL NSW State Branch for his part in the cover up, as was one other Committeeman. However, Thomas continues as President of the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch and Director of the Cronulla RSL Memorial Club Ltd.
Thomas has no credibility and should also resign his positions for knowing that whilst English was holding an executive position on the Sub Branch committee, and Senior Vice President of the Cronulla RSL Memorial Club Ltd., he was a Vietnam veteran imposter. Thomas did nothing about it. He then supported English and protected him for years after English was originally exposed as a fraud and a liar.
Like most imposters and their supporters, Thomas has threatened to sue ANZMI for our factual disclosures.
Sometimes the truth is difficult to accept.
Following his resignation from the VVFA Granville, English finally resigned from all positions on the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch committee on the 15 March, 2016 in accordance with the RSL NSW State Branch direction.
He still remains an ordinary RSL Sub Branch member, and incredibly Vice President of the Cronulla RSL Memorial Club, a different entity,for the moment.
As the current Memorial Club Vice President, he still receives a generous yearly cash honorarium , free trips away, free meals, free drinks and other benefits. Benefits that ordinary members do not receive.
English was elected to the Memorial Club Board on the false premise that he was a "former Royal Australian Navy (RAN) rating, with active and emergency service". This false information was included in his resume for election to the Memorial Club Board. We have a copy. Just more lies.
The Cronulla RSL Memorial Club President and committee members should demand the resignation of English from their Board immediately, to save further embarrassment by bringing the Memorial Club into disrepute as well.
He is still the Secretary of the The Sutherland Shire Naval Association, Sydney. That body should also demand his resignation for his lies.
The new executive of RSL NSW State Branch have made an emphatic statement to those who desire to join that organisation and seek executive Sub Branch office by claiming false military service. If you falsify your service, you will be caught out, disciplined and/or expelled.
Mr Rod White, President of the RSL NSW State Branch and Mr Glenn Kolomeitz, CEO, RSL NSW State Branch have made it abundantly clear in their mission statement that core values of integrity and honour will be strictly adhered to.
These values will hopefully encourage younger veterans from Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan, the fourth wave of veterans, to join their local RSL Sub Branches and participate in continuing the proud traditions of the RSL organisation.
It is their future and their families future as well.
We will gladly support Mr Rod White and Mr Glenn Kolomeitz in continuing with these ideals by weeding out imposters and their supporters at executive level or otherwise, who are detected within the League or other ex service organisations.
ENGLISH UPDATE - 17 Apr 15
Since our recent disclosure of imposter Kenneth Edward English, the Cronulla (Sydney) RSL Club Sub Branch Junior Vice President and RSL Memorial Club Senior Vice President, he surprisingly continues to hold both of these senior executive positions, even though he has been proven to be a Vietnam Veteran fraud.
We have received notification that members of the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia are amazed that English still retains both executive positions after records disclosed that he is an imposter. He has not contacted the VVFA and apologised for his lies or resigned his Vietnam veteran membership.
English not only lied about his Vietnam active service to the then Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia, but also on his Cronulla RSL Sub Branch resume, to a local St George Leader newspaper Reporter, several other places including RSL Sub Branch members, but we have since been sent his original resume for the Cronulla RSL Memorial Club by concerned RSL Memorial Club members, where he holds the executive position of Senior Vice President and obtains substantial monetary benefits.
In this document, where RSL Memorial Club members are informed of the committee person's credentials, and vote accordingly, English again claims that he had "12 years RAN (Royal Australian Navy) with, "Active (service) and emergency reserve (service) capacities."
We remind the reader that English had no active service whatsoever.
Not one day.
He has deceitfully claimed active (operational) service again to enhance his standing within the membership and community to gain positions on both committees and attract votes to acquire generous benefits. His deceit has happened on at least six occasions that we know of, and have been mentioned above.
English is cunning.
Now that he is entrenched in his positions for another three years, he has altered his false Cronulla RSL Memorial Club resume and deleted the words "active and emergency reserve (service)capacities",following suspicions from RSL Memorial Club members and committee members. He has also altered his Cronulla RSL Sub Branch resume where he told blatant lies about his "active service in the Far East and New Guinea" whilst he was in the Australian Navy.
Frauds like English use every means to get themselves voted on RSL Club committees, but quickly remove any tell tale signs of deception once they are elected and established in their positions, where they then seek further advancement to an executive role and increased benefits.
Like English, they even stand for President.
When caught out, they just shrug their shoulders and hope life goes on just as before because of the support they gain along the way.
We have also been notified that English has continued to lie about his RAN Vietnam service since he was originally discovered as a fraud in 2011.
Following our original disclosure in 2014, he was subsequently reported to the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch President in writing by a highly respected local resident, that he falsely claimed to him that he went to Vietnam on the HMAS Sydney. This was three years after he had been originally reported for telling Sub Branch members lies about his false Vietnam service and bringing his RSL Sub Branch into disrepute.
We have received further reports from Memorial Club members of how he told them that he was a crew member of HMAS Sydney when it went to Vietnam, however he was "put off at Brisbane due to illness".
English is an incorrigible liar and has been for years. Medical experts may classify his condition as "mythomania or pseudoligia fantastica", a psychiatric condition where the person loses personal judgement and distorts reality. He considers himself a tall poppy.
Others might say he is just an imposter and a glory hunter chasing further recognition.
Members of all Ex Service Organisations (ESO's) expect their committee representatives to be scrupulously honest.
English is a proven imposter, yet he maintains his prestigious rewarded positions with support from his President and a few of his Sub Branch committee mates.
English has not been ordered to resign by his friend, the President of the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch committee Mr. Warren Thomas.
Our advice to Thomas is that if you protect an imposter, you can consider yourself an imposter. You are just one step away.
Thomas in an e mail he sent to Anzmi stated -;
"We at Cronulla share your concerns about anyone obtaining benefit or kudos by purporting service in our armed forces that is untrue."
This edict must only apply to others, but somehow not for his mate English.
Thomas should also resign for his double standards and lies. He lacks leadership. He has threatened ANZMI with legal action, but he knows that what ANZMI have published is the truth and is supported by documentation. That is difficult to get over. We welcome any legal action that he or English are willing to pay for. They know how to contact us.
We do not usually get involved in Club politics but when RSL Presidents defend blatant imposters and then threaten us with legal action, it behoves us to get the truth out there.
Particularly when they are disrespectful of other genuine Vietnam veterans as indicated below.
Another Executive Cronulla RSL Sub Branch Committee member, again defending English, recently sent an offensive e mail to Mr. Bill Hobson, of ANZMI regarding Bill Hobson stating, "all he did was cook baked beans on the Vampire." and denigrating his Naval Vietnam service.
"*Your Name:*
Kerry Cattell
*Email Address:*
Bill Hobson
*Your Message:*
Is it true that Bill Hobson claims to be a Vietnam Vet but all he did was cook Baked Beans on the Vampire"
Also, in 2014, Cattell posted the following message on a website called "Cav's Blog".
Cattell, oblivious to the fact that Bill Hobson is a pseudonym, lambasted him in another e mail posted on the internet, in that,
"This little pr-ck Bill Hobson was a Cook on the (HMAS) Vampire and spent 16 days in the South China Sea. Think he got a medal. Wounded by baked beans".
"Kerry Cattell May 3, 2014 at 1:51 PM
I agree wannabees need to be outed but ANZMI outs brothers. I wrote to Hobson about outing Keith Joyce. Now Joyce wears some medals incorrectly but this guy was THERE. MM and Army commendation Medal (US) for valour. This little prick, Bill Hobson, was a cook on the VAMPIRE and spent 16 days in the South China Sea. Think he got a medal , Wounded by Baked Beans.He would understand that some brothers have PTSD and if they want to wear a Sheriff's tin star with their medals it doesn't worry me."
Denigrating Royal Australian Navy Cooks on widely read social media is not a very smart comment to make from an RSL Executive Committee member. You could make a lot of enemies with that attitude.
There is a William Hobson who was a "Royal Australian Navy Cook" on the Vietnam Nominal Roll, and who served honorably on the HMAS Vampire, but we can assure you that it is not Bill Hobson Anzmi.
Importantly, William Hobson the Navy Cook went to Vietnam. English, who Thomas and Cattell are defending did not. English claims to have gone, but decided to go on holidays instead, knowing the ship was leaving for Vietnam in a few days. English is the imposter here. William Hobson, Royal Australian Navy Cook, HMAS Vampire IS NOT.
He is a genuine Vietnam veteran, who does not need the disrespect of Cattell denigrating his Naval active service on at least two occasions that we know of.
We are certain that every RAN cook who ever served in Vietnam waters or elsewhere, and was accredited with active service or not, would not be very impressed with Cattell's comments. When censured by ANZMI for these highly offensive remarks, Cattell later recanted and stated that "someone must have used his e mail address (to send these messages) without his knowledge". That excuse is like "The dog ate my homework."
We here at ANZMI respect all genuine servicemen and women who have contributed to this Nation. We do not discriminate as to what Branch of the Services or positions they hold or held in their honorable service. They all support each other.
We do however, have a problem with wannabees, frauds and all those who defend them. Cattell denigrates the Vietnam service of others to protect his mate.
Cattell also mentions, " If some brothers have PTSD and want to wear a Sheriff's tin star with their medals, it doesn't worry me". Cattell adopts the position that you can wear what you like and say what you like about your alleged military service. If Cattell ever becomes in charge of an RSL Branch, it will be open slather. All the imposters and wannabees will love him.
We get dozens of e mails from young Afghanistan, Iraq and Timor veterans who inform us that they decline to join the RSL movement due to wannabees holding controlling positions within the organisation. This situation is not helped by the likes of RSL Presidents and others we have exposed as imposters recently, who have gained their positions by deception.
See: ANZMI.

Graeme Rex Caesar, Interim National President, Submarines Association of Australia, Queensland,
and of course -;
Mr Kenneth Edward English, Vice President, Cronulla RSL, NSW.
However, in spite of what ANZMI does in exposing RSL and other ESO frauds, we encourage those younger veterans to join the respected RSL organisation, participate, stand for committees, and continue the fight against wannabees and medal cheats and report them to ANZMI, to safeguard the legacy of what has been handed down by genuine returned RSL veterans over decades.
Whilst they are out there, and whilst we have your support, we will continue our exposures and provide regular updates of all imposters who continue to hold ESO committee positions and those who defend them.
The truth is our ally
Being exposed by Anzmi as a military fraud and a wannabee has no time limitations. Some of the imposters we have placed on site here have lived the lie for years.
We try and correct that by exposing the truth. The truth is our aim and the truth is our motive.
We continually remind Ex Service Organisations and in particular RSL Clubs to monitor and regularly audit their members for claimed military service and medals entitlements. Without these protocols, an anything goes situation prevails.
One organisation that regularly audit their records and require stringent documentary proof of military service of applicants who apply to join their organisation is the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia. (VVFA)
Kenneth English is another example of how imposters get themselves elected into executive positions on Returned Services League (RSL) Club committees and enjoy the fruits of their deceit for years until they are caught out.
R95543 Kenneth Edward English, Born on the 9 October, 1950, joined the Royal Australian Navy on the 9 July 1966. He enlisted for 12 years as a junior recruit.
Following his training, he became an Ordinary Seaman, (Stores Assistant). He eventually served on HMAS Sydney from 29 June, 1967 to 10 December, 1967, when he took leave and was then posted to HMAS Moresby, following completion of his leave on the 1st January, 1968.
These dates are significant as you read on.
He is currently the Senior Vice President of the Cronulla Returned Services League Memorial Club (RSL), and the Junior Vice President of the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch located in Sydney. He is currently the Secretary of the Sutherland Shire Naval Association. He considers himself a "tall poppy".
English has claimed Vietnam Naval active service on the HMAS Sydney in December, 1967, but in fact he had none.
The integrity of Kenneth Edward English has come to the attention of ANZMI investigators that confirm that he is a long time imposter and fraud.
Members of the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia, (VVFA), formerly Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia, (VVAA), and others, are concerned that English is not who he claims to be.
On the 22 May, 2008, English completed details on an application form for membership of that organisation falsely claiming to be a Vietnam Veteran with Royal Australian Navy (RAN) service on the HMAS Sydney, on dates between the 29/6/67 to 2/1/1968.
This application was accepted on the basis that the information he provided was the truth. The Vietnam Nominal Roll was checked and his name appeared on it.
His application was approved on that basis.
He was then granted membership as a Vietnam Veteran of that organisation and as such, he applied for and purchased Vietnam War Ribands bumper bar stickers for his vehicle, and the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia Lapel badge.
A copy of his VVFA record disclosing the information he provided is shown below.
The document below is the erroneous Vietnam Nominal Roll entry from the Australian War Memorial records, that his application was checked against and approved.
The executive and members are not too impressed when imposters fraudulently misrepresent themselves to join their great long standing organisation and claim the honour of Vietnam veterans to gain benefits when in fact, they had no Vietnam service at all.
A spokesperson told us that -;
"When we came home from Vietnam a lot of military personnel would not even admit to being a Vietnam veteran because of the way we were treated. Now people falsely misrepresent themselves and cash in on it to get benefits and courtesies that they don't deserve and steal our honour. He slipped through the system somehow by telling lies."
His records at the VVFA still have him registered as a Vietnam veteran with HMAS Sydney, Royal Australian Naval Service as indicated above.
At the time English joined the VVFA in 2008, his name had been included on the Australian War Memorial, (AWM) Vietnam Nominal Roll, Canberra, in error since 1997.
He was aware at the time he joined the VVFA that his name had been placed on the Roll in error. He did nothing to correct the mistake. For years he then delicately tip toed and in fact crossed the line of ethics and integrity in respect to his alleged Royal Australian Navy "active service", knowing his chances of being caught out were minimal.
Over the years, he managed to build up a false image that he is a Vietnam Veteran, including joining the VVFA. He has then used that misinformation to gain key positions on committees to gain undeserved financial benefits and increased standing in the community.
During his naval service, Ordinary Seaman Kenneth English served in the Far East Strategic Reserve in a non combatant peacetime capacity and also in New Guinea as a Stores Assistant. At the time English served, these areas were non war like and not classified as active duty.
In June, 1967, English was a crew member of HMAS Sydney.
HMAS Sydney was a retired Naval Aircraft Carrier, but due to Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War, the ship had been re-commissioned in 1962 as a troop and transport ship. From May, 1965, the ship was engaged in the highly important role of transporting troops, supplies, ammunitions, vehicles and other war time necessities from Sydney to Vung Tau Harbour, Vietnam. It was affectionately known as the Vung Tau ferry.
On the 11 December, 1967, whilst a crew member of HMAS Sydney, Ordinary Seaman Kenneth English availed himself of 21 days annual leave. His leave record is shown below.
A few days later, HMAS Sydney commenced its voyage from Sydney via Fremantle, Western Australia, to Vung Tau, Vietnam with its necessary provisions for the war effort.
This was the HMAS Sydney's 8th voyage to Vietnam.
English at this time was enjoying his annual leave, whilst his shipmates were training and readying themselves for whatever lay in front of them on active service in Vietnam waters.
The Ship's records indicate that on this particular voyage, HMAS Sydney was accredited with 15 days active service from the 20 December, 1967 to the 3 January, 1968. The ship transported 3 Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment to Vietnam.
Every Naval crew member posted on the ship at the time was accredited with the equivalent active service days, and this was accrued from when the ship left the last Australian port of Fremantle to when it returned to Fremantle 15 days later.
In 1997, the records of all Australian servicemen and women, Army, Navy and Air Force, who had served in the Republic of Vietnam or Vietnam waters, were posted on the Australian War Memorial (AWM) Nominal Roll of Vietnam Veterans web site for public viewing.
In a massive task undertaken, some errors were made.
One particular error was the inclusion of naval rating R95543 Kenneth Edward English, Ordinary seaman, stores assistant, who was credited with 15 days active service on the HMAS Sydney from 20 December, 1967 to the 3 January, 1968 when the ship departed Fremantle for Vung Tau, Vietnam and returned to Fremantle.
He was in fact on annual leave during this time.
English became aware of this glaring error, but as stated, did nothing to correct it. In fact, some years later, he used the incorrect information to his own advantage when applying for positions on RSL Club executive positions.
Positions that reward him with cash honorariums, meals, drinks and trips away. Benefits that other normal members do not have access to.
In the document above , his Curriculum Vitae (C.V) for election at his local Cronulla RSL club indicated that he saw "active service" with the "Far East Strategic Reserve and P.N.G."
The Far East Strategic Reserve was only classified by the Australian Government as "active service" if, in the case of the Royal Australian Navy, the ship had qualifying service in prescribed war like areas. His description would indicate to the reader/member that he had served in a war zone. The only prescribed war zone at the time English served in the Navy was Vietnam. He certainly did not go there.
He was on holidays!
As for performing "Active Service" in Papua New Guinea in the 1960's, no further comment is required. He would have known that, due to the fact that he would have been entitled to be awarded with the Australian Active Service Medal (AASM).
The above document is an extract of an article that appeared in the local Newspaper. In his role of Sub Branch Vice president, English was a Master of Ceremonies at Munro Park Memorial, Cronulla, in regards to the commemoration of the death of an Australian Soldier, who had been killed in action in Afghanistan. When interviewed, English told the reporter that he (English) was in fact a Vietnam War veteran. This was included in the local newspaper write up.
A Newspaper spokesperson has been contacted by ANZMI, who confirmed that the reporter would not have accredited English with being a Vietnam War veteran unless the reporter was told by English himself.
We were told, "How else would our Journalist know, you just don't fabricate things like that."
The above photograph is English wearing the Vietnam Veterans lapel badge he purchased from the VVFA.
English also placed the VVFA bumper bar "Vietnam war riband" sticker on his personal vehicle disclosing to all that he was a Vietnam veteran with active service.
He would have known that when the VVFA made inquiries to confirm the legitimacy of his claimed Vietnam service with the Australian War Memorial, they would have located his name on the Vietnam Nominal Roll. He knew that his particulars had been placed there in error, therefore, he had nothing to fear and he did nothing to correct it.
We have also ascertained that English directly told some Cronulla RSL Sub Branch members that he went to Vietnam on the HMAS Sydney in December, 1967.
ANZMI recently contacted the Cronulla RSL Sub Branch President to ascertain the outcome of a reported investigation initiated by concerned members that English was not who he purported to be and was not a Vietnam veteran at all.
However, the President, Warren Thomas reported in writing that the matter was finalised.
Thomas stated that "Some time ago it was reported that Mr English appeared incorrectly on the nominal roll of Vietnam Veterans along with some other "hear say" about his Vietnam service" Thomas stated that they are aware of the matter, but the investigation has been finalised. In other words, no further action. Thomas further responded in writing that,
"We at Cronulla share your concerns about anyone obtaining benefit or kudos by purporting service in our armed forces that is untrue."
If that is the case Mr. Warren Thomas, why did you allow English to carry on in executive positions within the RSL Memorial Club and Sub Branch after it had been brought to your attention and proven that English was an imposter claiming Vietnam service when he had none. Why would you do that?
By concealing the facts, Thomas is treating his fellow Memorial Club and as far as we know Sub Branch committee members with complete disrespect, arrogance and contempt.
Our inquiries have revealed that the New South Wales R.S.L. State Headquarters has not been notified by Thomas of any investigation into the fraudulent activities of English.
As a consequence, English continues to hold positions and gain benefits at Senior Executive level at both the Memorial Club and the Sub Branch as though nothing has happened. Recently, he was re-appointed as the Senior Vice President of the Cronulla RSL Memorial Club for another three years. He had previously stood for President but was defeated.
He has never been reprimanded. We have been assured that he and Thomas have never revealed his deceptions or apologized to the RSL Memorial Club Committee and members or, as far as we know, the Sub Branch Committee and members. They are all unaware of his unethical behaviour and his "wannabee" status.
We recently contacted English. He stated that he apologised to the Sub Branch members who he told he was a Vietnam veteran, however after several requests, he refused to provide us with the names of these members and we are unable to confirm the truth of his statement. Why won't he tell us? You can make your own mind up about that.
Our investigation has revealed that as a result of him being reported to the Sub Branch President Thomas as an imposter , he finally organised the removal of his name from the Vietnam Nominal Roll, after he knew it was incorrectly listed there for 17 years.!!!
However, no one at either Club is the wiser and he still obtains the benefits.
When asked for any further conditions imposed upon him, both English and Thomas declined to respond.
English stated however, that "This is clearly a tall poppy syndrome attack and a witch hunt based on hearsay."
Well we do not consider English to be a "tall poppy" and we certainly do not think it is"hearsay". Far from it. He has acquired his so called "tall poppy" positions at the RSL Club by producing misleading documentation on his c.v. regarding his "active service" , untruths to members and deceit. He has also misled voting members who placed their trust in him by his behaviour. "That is not hearsay"
He lied to the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia in May 2008 by claiming false Vietnam Royal Australian Navy service when he had none. "That is not hearsay either."
English had every opportunity to travel to Vietnam on the HMAS Sydney. However, he took annual leave instead for his own reasons, knowing that the ship was leaving in a few days time. He subsequently became aware of the administrative error at the AWM and used this error to his own advantage to claim Vietnam active service for many years.
He has used the honour of his genuine shipmates who left for Vietnam on the HMAS Sydney in December 1967 and Vietnam Veterans in general, to enhance his own status in the community to gain undeserved substantial financial benefits and rewards for years.
He should write to the Vietnam Veterans Federation of Australia immediately and apologise for his deceitful conduct and resign his membership.
There was no misunderstanding. English claimed to that organisation that he was a Vietnam War Veteran with RAN service on the HMAS Sydney on the dates indicated when he applied for membership, and then purchased the war ribands sticker for his car and VVFA badge.
The Memorial and Sub Branch committees should also take action against wannabees lurking in their midst and not conceal the facts from their members.
English should resign from all his self described "tall poppy" positions at the Club immediately. If he does not, then he should be shown the door. He should also publicly apologise to all Vietnam veterans for stealing their honour.
It is an offence under the Defence Act 1903 to claim to be a returned soldier, sailor or airman.
DEFENCE ACT 1903 - SECT 80A - Falsely representing to be returned soldier, sailor or airman
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if:
(a) the person represents himself or herself to be a returned soldier, sailor or airman; and
(b) the representation is false.
Penalty: 30 penalty units or imprisonment for 6 months, or both.
(2) For the purposes of this section:
(a) returned soldier means a person who has served abroad during any war as a member of any Military Force raised in Australia or in any other part of the British Empire, or as a member of the Military Forces of any Ally of Great Britain.
The President who made the poor decision to cover up for English in this fiasco, knowing full well that he is a Vietnam veteran imposter, should also resign from his positions for the integrity of the Cronulla RSL Memorial Club, the Sub Branch and the NSW State RSL Headquarters.
Genuine Vietnam veterans have struggled with mental issues and other major disorders for years because of what they endured.
Those who steal their honour are not fit for executive office in the RSL organisation.
UPDATE - "Major General" Neville McBryde DONOHUE
UPDATE DONOHUE – April, 2018
Neville McBryde Donohue must now understand that Australian and New Zealand Veterans, ex Servicepersons and the long arm of the law are relentless. It took five years of Donohue's nonsensical manoeuvres to get him squared away in jail. He tried all the tricks of a seasoned con man.
He claimed to have terminal cancer and produced forged documents as proof, for which he copped further charges. On another occasion he produced a Statutory Declaration declaring that he was required for "special military duty" involving "secret work"
Here is the Statutory Declaration:
Of course he received more charges for the false declaration.
The Police appear to have delved deep into his past and presented Donohue with a raft of other charges as follows:
Use false document to prejudice other (3 counts),
Obtain property by deception (4 counts),
Attempt to obtain property by deception,
Fail to answer bail (3 counts),
Improper use of Defence Service decoration (2 counts),
Impersonate returned soldier (2 counts),
Drive whilst authorization suspended (3 counts),
Impersonate a public official (7 counts,)
Fail to notify employer of cancelled licence (2 counts),
Obtain financial advantage by deception,
Theft from shop.
As detailed in our previous update of April 2017, Donohue was found guilty and sentenced to a jail term. Not satisfied with blocking the court system for four years with his frivolous and dishonest antics, he appealed the sentence and extended court procedures by another year.
On the date when the appeal was to be heard, Donohue abandoned his appeal and it was struck out. He was immediately taken into custody and required to serve the remainder of his jail sentence.
It took from ANZAC Day 2013 until 23 March 2018 for justice to be done. The veteran and ex service community thank law enforcement and the Judiciary for their relentless actions.

"Major General" Neville McBryde Donohue– Major General and Collingwood Supporter
Every now and then an incredibly stupid wannabe will bob his head up and be spotted by genuine Veterans.
In this case the "head bobber" is "Major General" Neville Donohue from the picturesque Dandenong Ranges in Victoria. Here is our man in all his "Generalship" glory:
Never before in the history of ANZMI have so many reports been sent, by so many, to so few (of us). Veteran forums and networks went viral and the above photograph taken at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on ANZAC Day 2013 was flashed all over Australia. The power of the internet prevailed and another and more interesting photograph arrived identifying Donohue.
In this photograph, Donohue is seen giving a stirring ANZAC Day 2013 speech at St Michaels Church, Kalorama in Victoria, before heading off to the MCG, ANZAC Day Football match, between Essendon and Collingwood, where he paraded his mighty haul of fake medals.
Who is Major General Donohue? Of course any person who barracks for Collingwood football club has to be a bit suspicious, but being a Collingwood Supporter and wearing a huge array of fake Military medals and claiming to be a Major General confirms that he is less than a balanced person.
We are reliably advised by ex members of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals (RA Sigs) that the "General" is in fact ex Serviceman313847 Corporal Neville McBryde Donohue from the Kilsyth area of Victoria. He served in the Australian Army between 1970 and 1976 and was never deployed to any Operational Areas. He has confessed that most of the medals are fakes but says his Vietnam Medals are genuine. That is a lie. He may be entitled to only one medal the Australian Defence Medal (ADM). Perhaps it is just as well, that we have exposed him, as we all know the case of a Corporal becoming a Fuhrer.
This case incited even more interest from the Australian Veteran Community than the Hines Brothers seen here: http://www.anzmi.net/hines/hines.html
Like the Hines Brothers case, State Police were quick to swoop on Donohue and lay appropriate charges.
The Australian and New Zealand Veteran community are more than ever before, sensitive to frauds, wannabes and medals cheats. Those who take liberties are gambling that they will not be caught and named and shamed on our web site. In this gamble the odds are well stacked in favour of ANZMI. So go ahead make our day.
Donohue will have his day in court.
We will track him and report his disposition.
After four years of lies, deceit and denial Donohue has been found guilty in a Melbourne Magistrates Court and earned a little prison time. Even so, the idiot has appealed his conviction: Here is the Newspaper coverage:
We can see that the Magistrate got it all correct. It is unfortunate that Donohue is still exercising his initiative by lodging an appeal. Let's hope that he is given a harsher sentence as a result of the appeal.
This is published in the public interest, particularly that of the Vietnam Veteran Community. All information presented here is fact and the truth. Reports from private citizens are supported by statements of fact and statutory declarations.
Coulter (Update)
Following the exposure of Nigel Coulter on the ANZMI website as an Australian Military Imposter, his employers, Corrective Services NSW were quick to react.
Coulter received notice that his future employment prospects within that Department were not good, and that he was about to be terminated.
He immediately sent a text message to his Supervisor, resigning on the spot.
Coulter could not provide ANZMI with any proof of his alleged military service as an Australian Army soldier in Namibia or Cambodia, or anywhere else for that matter..
We hope that Corrective Services NSW set an example and now assist Grafton Police with a formal prosecution of Nigel Coulter for offences he has committed under the Defence Act 1903, sections 80A and 80B.
Genuine Australian and New Zealand serving and former military personnel are unimpressed with imposters, who for their own vanity, steal the honour of all those Defence Force personnel, who have served, and or died for their respective countries.
Coulter has earned the right to appear before the Local Magistrate and explain his behaviour.
A further update will be provided in the future.
Nigel Coulter was born on the 3 August, 1971. He is 47 years of age and resides in Kyogle, in the northern part of the State of New South Wales. (NSW)
We are not certain about the entire background of Nigel Coulter, but we know that he did not serve in the Australian Army in the 1990s as he has claimed.
We know that he worked for NSW Family and Community Services as a Case Officer, NSW Juvenile Justice, and is now employed at NSW Corrective Services, Grafton, as a Correctional Officer.
Nigel Coulter is a Military Imposter, a fraud, and a Medal Cheat.
In the above photograph Coulter is wearing the following medal ribands and badge -;
1. The Australian Active Service Medal. (AASM). – Not entitled.
2. The Australian Defence Medal. (ADM). – Not entitled.
3. The United Nations Assistance Group in Namibia Medal (UNTAG 1989 – 1990) Not entitled.
4. The United Nations Advance Mission in Cambodia medal. (UNAMIC 1991 – 1992) Not entitled.
5. The United Nations Special Service Medal (UNSSM est.1995) Not entitled.
6. Above these medals he wears the Australian Infantry Combat Badge. (ICB) (The Infantry Combat Badge (ICB) is awarded to a serving member of the Australian Army for service as an Infantryman in warlike operations.)
Not entitled.
In 2017, Coulter came under suspicion from a number of persons, when he commenced to wear the Infantry Combat Badge (ICB) on his NSW Corrective Services uniform. When asked why he wears the ICB without campaign medal ribands, he replied, "It's the only one worth wearing."
Over time, Coulter added the .Australian Defence Medal and United Nations medal ribands mentioned above.
As he was not wearing either the Australian Active Service Medal riband (AASM), a pre-requisite for the ICB, or the Australian Service Medal riband (ASM), that always accompanies a UN medal riband, he raised concerns.
He was then asked by witnesses as to why he was not wearing the AASM or the ASM with his UN medal ribands, and "was he missing a medal?"
He replied that "he was waiting on the ASM to arrive". He was then asked what his Army Regimental number was and he stated, " I can't remember it, it is written down at home somewhere."
Coulter then stated that "he was an Artillery Forward Observer in Namibia and Cambodia and that is why he was issued with the Infantry Combat Badge".
In August, 2018, Coulter commenced wearing the AASM on his Corrective Services uniform with the UN medal ribands.
Another witness stated, "as for service, he once told me he was a reserve engineer and when questioned about where he got the AASM and how he became eligible to wear the ICB, his response was on operations in Cambodia"
When asked further about his service by another colleague, Coulter became defensive and stated that "It was classified".
Coulter was subsequently reported to ANZMI for clarification of his alleged medal entitlements.
ANZMI then made inquiries with Military Associations that assist with these types of inquiries. It was ascertained that Coulter does not appear on the roll of Australian Defence Force personnel who deployed to Cambodia. Nor did he deploy to Namibia.
His claims of being an Artillery Forward Observer in Namibia are rubbish. No Australian Artillery personnel were deployed to Namibia.
Strangely, there is no mention of Coulter's claimed Australian Army military service on his Linked In Page or his Face Book Page.
ANZMI has also been reliably advised from associates of Coulter, that he never served in the Australian Defence Force at the time he claims entitlement to the United Nations medal ribands (1989 to 1995.), or at any other time.
ANZMI sent two emails to Coulter, inviting him to provide evidence of his service in the Australian Army, with deployments to Namibia and Cambodia as claimed. He was also invited to produce documentary evidence of his claims to the AASM, ADM, UNTAG, UNAMIC, UNSSM, and ICB.
Coulter has decided not to accept our invitation to provide the documentation.
There is probably a very good reason why !
Genuine veterans are only too happy to provide ANZMI with proof of their service when requested.
Coulter, like most military imposters who cannot provide basic details of their alleged Australian Defence Force Service has notified ANZMI of a veiled threat of legal action. That does not deter ANZMI as we only publish the truth.
Coulter has committed offences against the Defence Act 1903, sections 80A and 80B, claiming to be a returned Australian serviceman and wearing Australian military decorations and medals that he has not been awarded.
The following extracts from the Defence Act 1903 apply to honours and awards:
80A Falsely representing to be returned soldier, sailor or airman
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if: (a) the person represents himself or herself to be a returned soldier, sailor or airman; and (b) the representation is false.
Penalty: 30 penalty units ($3,300.00) or imprisonment for 6 months, or both.
(2) For the purposes of this section: (a) returned soldier means a person who has served abroad during any war as a member of any Military Force raised in Australia or in any other part of the British Empire, or as a member of the Military Forces of any Ally of Great Britain; (b) returned sailor means a person who has served abroad during any war as a member of any Naval Force raised in Australia or in any other part of the British Empire, or as a member of the Naval Forces of any Ally of Great Britain; and (c) returned airman means a person who has served abroad during any war as a member of any Air Force, air service or flying corps raised in Australia or in any other part of the British Empire or as a member of the air forces of any Ally of Great Britain.
80B Improper use of service decorations
(1) A person is guilty of an offence if: (a) the person wears a service decoration; and (b) the person is not the person on whom the decoration was conferred.
Penalty: 30 penalty units ($3,300.00) or imprisonment for 6 months, or both.
Coulter may well end up in the same Prison he works at now, however, in a different role.
His employer, NSW Corrective Services has been notified, in addition to the NSW Police, Grafton.
An update on Coulter will be provided as events unfold.
Keough (Update) - aka: Maclean, Keogh-Maclean, Maclean O'Connor Keough
Keough Update – 11 February 2018
ANZMI's initial exposure of Norbert Keough (aka Maclean III) revealed a story of lies and deceit by this fraud and wannabe. As part of our evidence to support the claims was a very revealing newspaper story which was printed in 1993. At the time, 'Norb' (as we now know him) was running for election in the United States.
The article, in it's original format was part of our exposure; however, a number of readers have experienced difficulty reading the story. To assist the reader, and further strengthen the evidence against Norb, we have transcribed the report in its entirety below.
The article speaks loudly about the character and actions of Norb back then and provides a very revealing insight into the person he really is.
The astute reader will no doubt also note that nowhere in this revealing article is there any mention of service in the Gulf War and the timeframes mentioned in this newspaper report future support the claim that 'Norb' is a medal cheat and wannabe for claiming service during the Gulf War.
As we alluded to in our initial report, any political party considering throwing support behind Norb should be very mindful of his actions in the past.
The Tasmanian RSL now need to step up to the plate and take appropriate action against Norbert Keough (Maclean III) who was dishonourably discharged from the US Navy and should never been allowed to join either the NSW or Tasmanian RSL. We hope the new National President of the RSL, who was the former Tasmanian President takes notice of the type of people being allowed membership of the League.
Ashbury Park Press, Sunday June 6, 1993
Bad Checks followed withdrawn Assembly candidate
By Beth Whitehouse and Steven Chambers (Press Staff Writers)
On New Years Eve 1991, Norbert MacLean III threw a party at the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel in Asbury Park. He mailed formal invitations. He rolled a red carpet from the doorway of the presidential suite to the elevator.
He hung a United Nations flag at the doorway. He posted signs that read, "Reserved for Ambassador MacLean" in the parking area for the white limousine he'd rented.
For months, Maclean had been claiming to be an ambassador.
"He got very offended if you called him Mr MacLean," JoAnne Guertin, former front office manager at the Berkeley-Carteret said, "He wanted 'Ambassador Maclean'"
Maclean, a former Lakehurst resident whose father is that town's police chief, is far from an ambassador. He's a 22 year-old former Navy sailor recently court-martialed after being charged with bouncing 81 checks.
Just two weeks ago, MacLean was seeking legitimacy in a different forum. He was on the November ballot as an independent candidate for one of the two State Assembly seats in coastal Monmouth County's 11th District.
Maclean announced his withdrawal from the race on May 19, the day after an interview with the Asbury Park Press during which he was confronted with the Navy charges and other instances of bounced checks. An official in Maclean's campaign said the interview had not prompted the candidate's decision.
…'The reason for this painful decision is because of unfinished business with the United States Navy in Washington, DC," Maclean wrote in a letter to Secretary of State Daniel J. Dalton.
People who know Maclean say a penchant for exaggerating his importance and living beyond his means gets him into trouble. Many of the checks he was charged with bouncing were for such things as cellular phones and black-tie fund-raiser tickets.
In a freewheeling interview last month about his candidacy and his troubles with the US Navy, Maclean painted himself as a concerned citizen with a background in public service. He said he is a gay man who was persecuted by the Navy he served so well.
Others, particularly those who ended up with his bad checks, said the Long Branch resident is nothing but a con man.
…" If I lived in the district, he wouldn't be getting my vote," Bill Ulrey, executive director of the Assembly Republican Majority, said before Maclean withdrew his name from the ballot. Ulrey received a $1,200 that bounced as payment for two thickets Maclean used to attend a state fund-raiser in 1991. "If this guy can't honor a personal check, imagine what he would do in Tenton with taxpayer's dollars."
Maclean declined to discuss specifics of any of the 81 bad checks the Navy claimed he wrote, nor would he discuss other instances of bad checks that did not lead to charges.
…" Believe me…I would love to sit down and be able to discuss things in detail with you, but you have to understand this is in litigation," Maclean said. "I am pressing extremely hard to get this worked out before November"
On leave from the Navy pending appeal of his case, Maclean said he was getting in touch with the people of the 11th District and running a full-time, professional campaign. If he loses the appeal, his sentence of a dishonourable discharge and jail time served will stand.
A government source said Maclean said Maclean wrote at least 81 bad personal checks from more than 10 banks from Washington, D.C., to Florida for a total of more than $36,280. There are more alleged bad checks the government isn't aware of, such as the ones written to the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel.
At least one of the 81 checks was for more than $6000, another for as little as $1.42, according to the government source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. After a court-martial hearing in August, Maclean was found guilty of passing a dozen bad checks totalling $*,169.30.
On Oct. 31, he was sentenced to be dishonourably discharged from the Navy, to forfeit all pay, and to be imprisoned for 40 months, according to Lt. Kate Mueller, a Navy spokesman. As per an earlier agreement, the prison sentence was reduced to four months he had already served in the Marine Brig at Quantico, Va, Mueller said.
Writing bad checks is not unusual. But it is unusual for a young man to know the political system so well that he writes congressmen and other officials for help, the source said.
A claimed conspiracy
Maclean said the Navy charges are a conspiracy to discredit him because he had a top-secret security clearance and was trained to decipher coded information. He said he's being mistreated because he is gay and pointed to the anti-gay climate surrounding the presidential primaries last year.
The government source scoffed at the notion.
"Nobody woke up one morning and said, 'Let's get Norbert Maclean,'" the source said.
Perhaps the biggest victim of Maclean was The Children's Home of Burlington County. The private, non-profit home for 50 emotionally disturbed boys between ages 10 and 16 is in Mount Holly. Maclean offered to run a black-tie, fund-raising dinner in Washington, D.C. Tickets sold for $100 a plate, according to a New Jersey woman who attended the dinner.
The dinner took place on April 13, 1991 at the Belling Air Force Base officers club. About 70 people attended, the woman said. Maclean, dressed in a tuxedo, gave a speech.
Afterward, Maclean allegedly wrote a check to the officers club for more than $6000 to pay for the dinner. It bounced, according to the government source.
Maclean also allegedly wrote a check for nearly $2000 to the children's home. It also bounced, the source said.
A representative of the children's home had no comment. "We haven't had any notification of the investigation being completed, so we can't comment," said Karen Muldoon, a home spokeswoman.
Where the money from the dinner went, government investigators don't know.
In an interview last year, Maclean said the Navy made errors depositing his paychecks and also said that some of his checkbooks were missing.
…" Everybody bounces a check here and there," he said then. "I'm not going to comment on what exactly occurred."
Maclean also allegedly duped the political party to which he claimed to be loyal. When then-President Bush came to the Ramada Renaissance Hotel in East Brunswick Township Sept. 19, 1991, for a fund-raising dinner, Maclean made sure he was there as well.
He called Ulrey, who was then finance director for the Republican State Committee, about a week before the event and ordered two tickets at $600 each.
Maclean sent a check, complete with a little Republican elephant symbol embossed next to his name. Ulrey said Maclean showed up at the dinner in a limousine.
The check bounced. Maclean still owes $1200, Ulrey said.
Matt Caracappa, Red Bank, met Maclean around Christmas 1991 and hosted the New Year's Eve party with him. He said he's gotten bad checks from Maclean as well, one for $1200 that was supposed to pay for his share of the New Year's Eve bash.
For a while, Caracappa believed Maclean's story that he was an ambassador. After all, Maclean was constantly in a limousine. In his own car he had a cellular phone and would use it often.
…" He had stationary printed up," Caracappa said. It say's "His Excellency Norbert B. Maclean III United States Representative to the United Nations Association."
But Caracappa said he started getting suspicious when Maclean showed up so often in New Jersey. "He would drive to New Jersey like you drive to 7-Eleven," Caracappa, a contractor said. "When did he work?"
Caracappa said he believes Maclean is a con artist.
"He is a pro. What he has gotten away with so far – it's like a television movie." Caracappa said. "He's really very convincing. It's just a bogus con job. A little boy with a big imagination".
After graduation from Manchester Township High School in 1989, Maclean enlisted in the Navy and eventually served as administrative assistant to Richard L. Armitage, President Bush's special negotiator at the State Department, Navy spokeswoman Mueller said. He received a Joint Service Achievement Medal for his work during negotiations with the Philippines over military bases.
In an interview last year, Maclean conceded that his early successes may have led him to try to inflate his own importance.
…" Anybody would let their ego run a little wild," he said. "Maybe I might have exaggerated – not exaggerated, I wouldn't say that." Maybe (I) overinflated the significance of what was happening or what was going on, but that wasn't to the detriment of anybody and it wasn't intentional. As for being an ambassador to the United Nations Association of America, all you have to do is pay the association, which is a nationwide, non-profit educational organization. People who donate $500 are called patriots; people who donate $1000 are called ambassadors. Maclean never did that though, said John Brenan, membership director.
How it worked
This was the way Maclean operated, according to the government: He would go into a bank and open an account. The bank would send him checks for the account. Maclean would return to the bank and close the account. Afterward, he'd write checks to people, and they would get notices saying the account had been closed.
Maclean allegedly got a stamp made that would show the checks had been cleared. He would go to the bank with the check, and when the bank said the account had been closed, Maclean denied having closed the accounts.
Jacob Cohen, owner of the Hot Spot Deli in Ashbury Park, learned about the system the hard way. Cohen catered a party for Maclean on April 30 to announce his candidacy.
The candidate called back a week later to say the $137 check he had written for the party was no good, but he would be sending another, Cohen said. When Cohen called the Virginia bank, he was told the account was closed more than a month before.
In the interview last month, Maclean denied he ever wrote the check, although Cohen later produced the check. Cohen said that on the day Maclean withdrew his name from the ballot, he showed up at the deli and made good on what he owed.
We, ANZMI would like to preface this report with this comment. No doubt, when this report appears on our Website there will be angst and insults from contemporaries and allies of Norbert Keough, some of those people already have found a place on our Website because of their lies. No doubt, Mr Keough himself will lead the charge against us. ANZMI will be accused of being veiled website assassins, homophobic, and much, much more. We are used to that. Before reaching for the keyboard to pass judgement on us, think of this. ANZMI did not seek out Norbert Keough, he put himself out there, he created the story that is now falling in around him, he is the one who threatened genuine veterans who expressed concerns about him, both in Australia and the United States. Norbert Keough has sought public recognition for his efforts, but with that recognition comes scrutiny. Mr Keough has actively sought to remove much of the details of his background from the public record. This is right, but he must also remember that once documents are made public there is a right to question his credentials. Yes, he may threaten legal action, and yes, he may suggest that it is his sexuality that is behind this report and yes, his political allies may challenge ANZMI, but that still does not excuse his actions, nor does the written record lie.
And now to the Facts:
With all the illumination of a star burst shell, Norbert KEOGH appeared in the ranks of the NSW RSL and became quiet a mover and shaker, initially through the North Bondi RSL Sub Branch and various veteran's organisations and projects such as the "Keep 45 Alive", an RSL project aimed at remembering World War 2 Veterans, he maintained a close relationship with past and present executive members of the RSL. Norbert seemed destined for a stellar career in the NSW RSL, that is until people started to question him about his service and a bit of a smell started to appear.
When Norbert Keough was treading the boards of the NSW RSL, he managed to create for himself quite a persona. In his day, a google search would have found a lot of information about Norb, primarily the information he wanted you to know. He was certainly wanted it to be known he was an important cog in the wheel and managed to link himself with some notable identifies:
The entire article (assuming its author has not removed it) can be found at:
He has also managed to write (or his biographer wrote) quiet a well researched history of Norbert, this can be found at:
This is a very demanding read, so make yourself a cup of coffee before delving into the life of Norbert Keough. If you are able to work your way through the pages of rhetoric, claims of false convictions, failed appeals and the classic 'everyone has it in for me' complex.
Whoever wrote the article, and we think we know who it was, has an intimate knowledge of Norbert, and despite the lengthy legalese used throughout is there any evidence whatsoever that Norbert Keough was not discharged from the US Navy after pleading guilty, and being found guilty of fraud at a Court Martial.
Norbert Keough, or 'Norb' as he likes to be called presents himself as a distinguished veteran of the US Navy, a Gulf War Veteran, a champion of veteran's rights, and a non-practising Barrister. Don't however, challenge Norb's credentials as he is very keen to litigate. We wonder why?
The truth is, Norb is nothing but a fraud. Yes, he did serve in the US Navy but if you can call being discharged after being Court Martialled 'distinguished' you probably believe the rest of his stories.
After threatening a number of senior members of the RSL with legal action for daring to ask legitimate questions about his past, Norb relocated to Tasmania where he reinvented himself in the Tasmanian RSL and picked up work with Jackie Lambie as an advisor on Veterans Affairs. It also seems Norb is keen to have a tilt at politics.
Norb has created the image of a distinguished US Navy Veteran to enhance his public image, but in doing so, has left a trail of confusing photographs which depict changing medal entitlements, service not consistent with the published record, and lies about his actual service history.
This includes,
- Wearing the US Presidential Service Badge (Not entitled)
- Wearing US Medals associated with Service in the Gulf War (1990-1991) namely the Kuwait Liberation Medal – Saudi Arabia and the Kuwait Liberation Medal - Kuwait
Norbert Maclean III (Keough) enlisted in the US Navy on the 1st November 1989 and was discharged following a Court Martial on 29th August 1994. Keough was the subject of a Court Martial for several counts of writing bad cheques which totalled over $US8000 and a charge of AWOL.
Early on in his career with the RSL in NSW, Norb was photographed a number of times at various functions. In these images (above) he is clearly seen wearing the US Presidential Service Badge.
The criteria for the award of this decoration is:
'The PSB is awarded after at least one year of satisfactory service "to any member of the Armed Forces assigned to duty in the White House Office or to military units and support facilities under the administration of the Military Assistant to the President by the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Air Force, or, when the Coast Guard is not operating as a service in the Navy, the Secretary of Homeland Security, upon recommendation of the Military Assistant to the President". It is accompanied by a certificate and miniature lapel version. The PSB is recorded in the individual's military service records and is authorised for wear as a permanent decoration.
Recipients are, other than the President and uniformed members of the U.S. Secret Service, the only Americans authorized to wear the "Presidential Seal or Coat of Arms" on their uniforms and civilian clothes.'
There is no record of this decoration having been awarded to Norbert Keough/Maclean III, and it appears for reasons only known to himself, he has ceased wearing it as far as we know.
The dates of service have been confirmed by US Navy Records. The Court Martial took place in 1992 and following that conviction, he took Leave Without Pay (LWOP) from the date of conviction until discharge while appealing the Court Martial findings. Information from the US indicates that Keough spent 120 days in a military prison awaiting Court Martial. Following the finding of GUILTY, a further custodial sentence was commuted for time already served in custody. From enlistment to discharge is a period of about 56 months. Details on the Court Martial will be provided later in this report. Suffice to say, that following a number of appeals, Keough was successful in having the AWOL charge overturned, but the finding of the Court Martial that he be dishonourably discharged (bad conduct discharge) was upheld. Despite numerous appeals by Keough, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE to support claims the Court Martial decision to discharge Keough has ever been overturned.
Navy Times 06-13-94 Issue
By Nick Adde
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - An avowedly gay sailor discharged for writing bad
checks sued the Navy for $40.1 million, claiming he was drummed out for a
crime he did not commit.
Norbert Basil MacLean III, 23, was convicted by general court-martial in
1992 on three counts of writing bad checks, totaling $8,169. He was
sentenced to confinement for 40 months, forfeiture of all pay and
benefits, reduction in grade to E-1, and a bad conduct discharge.
Because MacLean pleaded guilty, the judge reduced his jail time to 118
days, which he had served. He is on leave without pay from the Navy while
appealing the case.
MacLean said he is the victim of a "conspiracy" by Navy superiors and
criminal investigators. His commanding officer, Cmdr. Robert W. Cosgriff,
asked the Naval Investigative Service to watch him, the sailor said.
"Apparently, they found out I was gay at that time," he said.
But papers filed by prosecutors during MacLean's court martial tell a
different story.
Cosgriff, then commanding officer at the Naval Security Station in
Washington, D.C., received numerous reports from local merchants that
MacLean had bounced checks, according to prosecutors. As a result,
Cosgriff asked the NIS to investigate the sailor, who at the time worked
for Richard Armitage, a senior State Department official in the Bush
MacLean's sexual orientation became known only when he announced it, Navy
sources said.
MacLean claimed the bounced checks were caused by direct deposit
foul-ups. The Navy would not comment. on MacLean's claims.
The troubles with direct deposit were deliberate, Mac Lean said, part of
a "malicious" attempt to remove him from service. He said he pleaded
guilty because his command was holding him in the brig until he did so.
MacLean's court-martial appeal is pending before the Navy-Marine Corps
Court of Military Review. The government must respond to his civil suit
by July 20.
The part of appeal (regarding the AWOL) was overturned, however no evidence can be found to support his claim that the conviction for fraud and subsequent discharge was ever over turned. There have been numerous attempts by Keough to murky the waters, and numerous appeals by him. The simple fact is he is guilty and his conviction recorded in his 1992 Court Martial stands today. Evidence of some of his appeal can be found at:
Norbert Maclean III came to Australia an about 2008 and reinvented himself as Norbert Keough.
As is clearly identified in Keough's Service Record, he was awarded four (4) US Awards:
- Joint Service Achievement Medal
- National Defense Service Ribbon
- Navy 'E' Ribbon
- Navy Rifle Marksman
- Navy Pistol Marksman
Early on in his RSL NSW career, Norb was photographed wearing medals, consistent with the record, with a couple of (what are believed to be) US Navy Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) cadet medals (unofficial) which would have been awarded to him when he was a member of his school's ROTC (School Cadets) unit.
The above image, despite being in black and white depicts the young Cadet Norb wearing two decorations which look very much like those being worn in his early RSL career.
Not listed on the record is evidence of the award of South-West Asia Service Medal for service in the Philippines. It is for this service that he was allegedly awarded the Joint Service Achievement Medal, which came with a rather verbose certificate. The authenticity of this certificate has also been questioned by US veterans, however as no evidence is available to refute the claim, we have given him the benefit of the doubt. Importantly, the dates recorded on the certificate indicate he was performing these exceptional duties from June 1991 to September 1991.
Now, this is where Norb's service history gets interesting. If we accept the US Navy record as fact, he enlisted on 1st November 1989, and completed basic training (10 weeks). Allowing for Christmas 89-90 he completes this training in mid-January 1990. He then undertakes specialist training and as can be seen in the next image, graduates on 11 May 1990.
In this image, Norbert Keough can be seen wearing the rank of Seaman (E3).
So, the question is, where was Norb from May 1990, until June 1991 when he allegedly appears a Petty Officer Third Class working for the Special Negotiator, US/Philippine Base Negotiations office? Well, thanks to our friends in the United States we have found out what he was doing on New Year's Eve 1991. Norb was pretending to be an Ambassador with the United Nations and after booking into the Presidential Suite of a flash hotel in Ashbury Park, then threw a swank party, even going so far as to have a car park reserved for his official vehicle and demanding that the staff refer to him as Mr Ambassador, and had red carpet from the doorway of his suite to the elevator.
This very enlightening article about Norb, it quiet succinctly sums up the circumstances which lead to his Court Martial. A very different story than he would have us believe.
We now know from the evidence available that from New Years' Eve 1991, Norb was busy partying and writing dodgy cheques as detailed in the article above from the Ashbury Park Press until June 1991. That leaves us with a six-month period from May 1990 (graduation from training) and December 1990 (known to be in US).
If his story is to be believed, this is the only period of time he could have served in the Gulf War. He certainly claims to have done so.
How times change, Norb appears to rid himself of some of the unofficial medals to make was for the Kuwait Liberation Medal – Saudi Arabia and the Kuwait Liberation Medal – Kuwait.
By his own timeline and the evidence trail left by him, there is no possible way Keough could have served in the Gulf War during the period needed to qualify for the awards he wears.
Knowing what we do about Norb's story so far, we turn our attention to the 'wings' he wears above his medal rack. Contrary to popular belief, these are not aircrew insignia but rather, a US Navy award known as the Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist Insignia.
There is no doubt this is the award he is wearing.
The qualification requirements for the award of the EAWS badge are quite extensive and rather than recount them here, the reader is invited to follow the link to Wikipedia for a detailed explanation of the award.
Clearly, given the information already at hand, there is no possible way that Norbert Keough completed this qualification, nor does it appear on the extract of his service record provided under the Freedom of Information process.
The award he wears should not be confused with the Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist Badge which typically takes 18 months to achieve, there is simply not enough time in his timeline for him to have achieved all he claims. It is as simple as that.
ANZMI has been investigating Norbert Keough's claims following numerous requests from Veterans in NSW and Tasmania, for many months however we have not been alone. In October 2017, the Sydney Morning Herald published the results of their own investigation, which can be found at:
Keough's response to the Sydney Morning Herald was the same as it has been for everyone else who has dared to question his credentials, - he threatens legal action rather than explain the glaring anomalies in his story.
The facts in this case are straight forward once you cut through the maze of falsehoods left by Keough. He is wearing medals and decorations he is not entitled to wear, and by virtue of the US Navy regulations, a person discharged by Court Martial is not entitled to wear any medals, even those awarded during service. (Reference: The Navy Uniform Regulations, Chapter 6, paragraph 61002, sub paragraph 7).
Norbert Basil Keough (aka Maclean III) is a fraud, he has been a fraud most of his adult life and he has clearly been caught out wearing medals for service in the Gulf war for which he has not entitlement at all. So why is he a member of the RSL? Perhaps the Tasmanian RSL can do the research we have done to uncover the truth as everything about Norbert is in the public domain.
As can be seen from the information above, Norb is quiet the litigate, but as can be clearly seen, all his appeals have been denied. The Court Martial findings stand.
After his discharge from the Navy, Norb made numerous appearances in US Newspapers, telling his story of how he has been wronged, so it is ironic that these very same newspaper stories bring him down. Take the following report for example, the article provides evidence of a Court win by Norb, but it's what is doesn't say that is interesting. Norbs service in the Navy is detailed for all to see, but nowhere does it mention service in the Gulf War. An oversight? we think not
No doubt, ANZMI will be threatened with legal action because of this report, but before shooting the messenger, remember it is Norbert Keough who has sought publicity, it is he and his supporters who have suggested he will stand for election, so as a public figure, is it not right that he answer the genuine concerns of the Veterans community raised in this report? We at ANZMI think yes.
Much of the rhetoric used by Keough in attacking those who challenge him is to play the homophobic card. His sexuality has nothing whatsoever to do with this issue. He has set out from day one to deceive and to portray himself as a veteran that he is not, the time has come for him to answer the obvious questions and explain his lies.
Is Norbert Keough/Maclean III a fit and proper person to be elected to Parliament? Well, that is clearly a decision for the voters. Is Norbert Keough/Maclean III a fit and proper person to be a member of the RSL, or to advocate on Veterans issues? Clearly the answer is NO.
Call us keyboard warriors if you will, but this is what ANZMI does, it exposes those among the Veteran community who are nothing but frauds, those people who ingratiate themselves into Veterans organisations and get their way by shouting down the silent majority of genuine Veterans who would dare to challenge stories that simply don't ring true but can't afford or fear the stress of legal action, albeit veracious legal action which is the common response of the wannabe and fraudster.
This is why ANZMI is here.

KANSAS CITY—In their first post-season game in 29 years, the Kansas City Royals announced their speed with authority.
The Royals ran wild on the Oakland A's, stealing a record-tying seven bases in last year's AL wild-card game en route to their thrilling, extra-innings victory. They ran all the way to the World Series, racking up 14 total stolen bases — 10 more than any other team.
Speed is one of their obvious strengths and a major part of their offence.
The Blue Jays, meanwhile, were the AL's best team at controlling the running game, boasting the league's best throwing catcher in Russell Martin and also a staff of pitchers skilled in holding runners. No AL team allowed fewer stolen bases against.
So it should make for an interesting cat-and-mouse game within the games in this ALCS.
"It'll be huge," Jays' manager John Gibbons said of controlling the running game against the Royals. "That's a big part of what they do."
But despite being the best power-hitting team in baseball, the Jays are themselves also among the top base-running clubs. They may not swipe as many bags as the Royals' speedsters, but they led the majors this season with a 79 per cent stolen-base success rate (Kansas City ranked fourth at 75 per cent) and finished second — behind the Texas Rangers — in Baserunning Runs, a comprehensive statistic that accounts not only for stolen bases, but also how well teams take extra bases (such as going first to third or second to home on a single) and how well they avoid making outs on the bases.
The Royals, meanwhile, are middle of the pack in that regard.
Tim Leiper, the Jays' first-base coach, is in charge of base-running for the team.
"I'm extremely risk averse," he told the Star recently. "It makes no sense to make outs on the bases with the offence that we have."
But being selectively aggressive can open up another offensive avenue when the opposing pitcher is keeping their hitters at bay, he said. "Being aggressive intelligently and being aggressive by just taking chances are two different things. I think there's a lot of information that allows us to be aggressive in certain situations."
Leiper keeps tabs on the pitcher's speed to the plate and the catcher's throw time to second, but also where the outfielders are positioned, the strength of their respective arms and the hitters' tendencies as well. When a Jays runner gets to first, Leiper whispers that info in their ears.
"We have the benefit, too, where we have a lot of big hitters in our lineup so a lot of outfields play deep on us," he said. "But if you're not aware of it, maybe you won't do it. The one thing about going first-to-third, it has to be in your mind before the ball's even hit. That's the main thing: to plant that seed, know where guys are playing, know where certain guys are going to hit the ball and if the ball goes through this area, let's make sure we get there. So before the ball's even hit, there's already the pre-thought that we're going to get there."
Kevin Pillar and Ben Revere, who this season stole 25 and 31 bases, respectively, rank second and third in the majors in terms of Baserunning Runs. But not too far behind are Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista, two players you wouldn't necessarily think of as base-running threats.
"They're winning players," Leiper said, "and they realize how important that part of the game is to winning."
Donaldson, who led the majors in runs scored this year, stole just six bases, but was never thrown out. He and Bautista both excel at going first-to-third and second-to-home on singles, while Donaldson's aggressive dashes to the plate and acrobatic slides regularly made the highlight reel this season.
"We're going to slug our way through a lot of games," Leiper said. "But at the same time there's going to be a lot one-and-two-run games — especially at this time of year — where base-running is going to be extremely important."

Baby rattles in the past are fairly straight forward toys that kids and parents can easily identify as rattles.

Imagine that.
If that is not enough, the Alilo Smarty is also a digital player that comes pre-loaded with popular kids' songs and stories.

Papua New Guinea has been struck by a major earthquake which is being felt across the region.
The magnitude-7.5 earthquake occurred early Monday morning with the epicentre roughly 500kms from the capital Port Moresby.
Speaking about the quake in a statement, Chief Secretary to Government Ambassador Isaac Lupari said disaster assessment teams have been sent to affected areas.
"The National Disaster Centre is working with provincial authorities to assess any damage and impacts on service delivery in the area."
Powerful aftershocks continue to rattle PNG, with some companies, including ExxonMobil Corp, pausing operations for the time being.
Lupari also added it was important for locals and tourists to be aware of the aftershocks.
"It is advisable to stay out of multi-story buildings, to be aware of the potential of landslides, and to be prepared to move to open ground in the event that an aftershock is felt."
According to the ABC, the area where the earthquake hit is an agricultural hub for PNG, with a number of coffee plantations as well as oil and gas operations.
Speaking to the ABC, Brisbane miner Derek Schock said he actually thought he was "dreaming" when the quake struck.
"We get a lot of rain and storms so initially I thought it was just another heavy rain and wind gust.
"But then I noticed it getting worse, then the house started to shake."
"There has been a significant landslide and the road is cut off."
Luckily, there have been no reported fatalities so far.
US Geological Survey spokesperson Don Blakeman also spoke to the ABC, and said: "Any geologic situation like steep valleys or any type of construction, [like] buildings, mines, that sort of thing, since this is a shallow earthquake it shakes all of that a lot more."
"Landslides are a lot more common and should be expected."
