Over the years Mr Randall received many honours, big and small.
They have included life memberships of the Campbelltown RSL Soccer Club, Campbelltown RSL Youth Club, Burns Physical Culture, Campbelltown RSL Club Limited, Campbelltown RSL Sub Branch, RSL Sub branch, and 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment Association.
Mr Randall also received the meritorious service medal for his dedication to the Campbelltown RSL Sub Branch, and in 2007 was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) for services to the community.
Now Malcolm Randall, who has been living in aged care at Durham Green, Menangle for the past 18 months, has received a NSW Government Community Service Award.
The award is signed by the NSW Premier, Gladys Berejiklian, and local MP Greg Warren, was presented it to Mr Randall.
Mr Warren said the award is recognition for Mr Randall’s 58 years of volunteer work in Campbelltown.
Mr Randall grew up in Orange and joined the Army at the age of 21 in 1951.
A veteran who served in Korea and Malaya, he was discharged in 1959 holding the rank of Sergeant in the 1st Battalion Royal Australian Regiment.
[social_quote duplicate=”no” align=”default”]“I congratulate Malcolm Randall on receiving this award which recognises close to six decades of service to our community,” Mr Warren said.[/social_quote]
“Mr Randall was part of that generation who moved to Campbelltown in the 1950s and 60s, who helped build Campbelltown into the city it is today. They worked hard and didn’t ask for much back.
“While some people commit to organisations for their own self-gratification, Mr Randall has always given back to the community, ensuring that those in need were looked after.”
