Colin F. Jones

It has been said of Colin by his peers that he is among the elite; the man with the “Magic Pen”. He is a uniquely diverse poet, who writes on a wide variety of subjects in many different styles. He is currently compiling several works to be offered for publication, including War Poetry.
An Australian who was born in England, Colin served with 104 Field Battery, Royal Australian Field Artillery in Phuc Tuey Province during the Vietnam War in 1968-1969. He also served in Malaysia, and has travelled widely as a civilian.
Sadly, this master wordsmith and dear friend, passed away on October 22, 2012.
