Sincerest condolences to the Rowlingson family. Michael (Lurch) was a much loved member of the Royal MilitaryCollege - Duntroon, Bridges Company (Bridges Kids). Lurch had a larger than life personality, a quick wit, was always first to lend a hand and was the quintessential gentle giant. I remember sharing so many fun, character building times with him. On a kayaking course we undertook together, we were issued bivey bags for sleeping - something completely new for me. I woke screaming in the middle of the night as I wasn’t sure where I was and could not get out of the bag. Michael was there in no time to open up my bag and let me know that all was ok. Lurch went on to serve with others from Bridges Company in Somalia and other theatres. We also lost four of our best mates at RMC in a plane crash and one other in a car crash which I remember talking to Lurch about a few years ago and expressing how much we missed them. Rest in Peace Lurch, you will be greatly missed. Michael Austin (Biff)
