  • In response to an obituary in the RSA Review by Mr Cyril Pasco, on the death of Mr Gordon Kirk-Burnnand, Mr Robinson replied to Mr Pasco as follows: "Dear Cyril, I read with interest your tribute to Gordon Kirk-Burnnand in the Review. I was in F Troop 26 Bty and sailed too with you on Empress of Canada...I have happier memories of other occasions, your playing your violin on the way down to Wellington to embark, your swinging mess calls with another trumpeter by name of Ken Suckling .. and the company we shared in those earlier days".
