04.01.2022 It is with regret that I inform you of the passing of Craig (Fruit Box) Allen. Craig enlisted as a reserve on the 9th April 2002 and was posted to 25/49 RQR in Toowoomba. On the 16th June 2003, Craig transferred to the ARA and was posted to 1 TPT SQN, 1 CSSB and allocated to 2 platoon where he was given the nickname Fruit box. As a side note, he was given this nickname as the unit already had a member whose nickname was lunch box and Craig was just a smaller version of this ...member. Craig stayed at 1 CSSB for his entire Army career and although he never deployed overseas he was well known right across 1 Bde for his CAT and Merlo operating skills. On the 24th February 2007, Craig separated from the Army and commenced a new chapter in his life at Tangalooma Resort. Craig was first diagnosed with a brain Tumour in 2009 and over the past 6 years had battled 5 tumours, the last of which was diagnosed earlier this year. Unfortunately the last one was inoperable and untreatable. He passed away on Saturday evening and is survived by his Parents Stan and Sharon Allen, brother Warren, and Sister-in-law Lisa. His funeral will be held at 3:00 PM on Wednesday 19th August 2015 at Centenary Memorial Gardens Crematorium, 353 Wacol Station Rd, Sumner, QLD.
