Biography

Leonard Pavich, SERN: 312606 - Joined 10 Apr 1968 and was discharged on 10 Apr 1971 in Melbourne. He was originally a refugee from Yugoslavia arriving in Australia in 1960. He served with 2RAR/NZ (A.

In 1975 I presented Terry Fincher my Nottingham Back Streets portfolio and was subsequently listed with his Agency Photographers International...at this time all my slides were back in Australia but the Vietnam connection and his recent coverage of the Yom Kippur War,where I was living on a kibbutz was also a point of mutual bonding.
