Barry Corse..The Tragic Case of a Failed 2nd
Lieutenant

Barry Corse is a tragic figure. He enlisted in the Army
Apprenticeship Scheme in Jan 1959. During his time in the
RAE [1959-1965] he
reached the dizzy
heights
of
Lance
Corporal.
However
his
lack
of
devotion
to
duty,
his
incompetence and
discipline problems
meant
he was
going
nowhere fast. He
then
applied for
entry to the old Officer
Cadet
School
at
Portsea
and
in
1966 he
graduated
as
a
Second
Lieutenant.
Some of Corses'
classmates
were
amazed he ever
graduated
and
always
considered
him
a
loose
cannon, as
being
incompetent
and
as being
totally
unsuitable to hold
Commissioned
Rank.
He
was
then posted to 2 RAR and
spent well
over a year in South
Vietnam, firstly as
a
Platoon
Commander and then as
a Liaison Officer at Task Force HQ.
On
completion of an extended
tour of
duty we was posted
back
to 2 RAR,
where he
remained for
a
very short period before
he was
shuffled off to the old
Jungle
Training Centre at
Canungra.
His time here was again
short before he was posted
to
Western Australia on
compassionate
grounds
taking
up
postings in CMF and
Cadet
Units.
During this time, and
until
the end of 20 years of
Service, Corse
never
qualified for
promotion to
substantive [ permanent
]
rank
above
2nd
Lt.
He
retired
after 20
years
service a
TEMPORARY
Captain.
Corse
appeared
on the online Veteran
scene
in
late
2006.
Nobody
who
had been
working
for
years
on
Veterans
issues had ever
heard of Barry
Corse. He
immediately
began a
campaign
to
vilify various former
and
current senior Officers, various
ex
Service
Organizations,
various
politicians
from
the
then
PM
down
and
various
Veterans. He moved quickly to
set up a fraudulent
movement
named
the mad galahs
whose
sole aim in
life was to take
over all Veterans
matters and
castigate and
defame
anybody
who
stood in his way. His
abuse,
defamation, vilification and
deranged and confused
thinking
have
become
legendary.
Corse
set
himself
up
as
the
wise
owl
and
leader of
this silly
movement
and
attached
himself to
well known
people and
former senior
Officers
whom he
approved of to
curry favour
and try to
impress
those
who
fell
for
his
fraudulent
behaviour.
He is a
real
name dropper
who tried
to create
the impression he has
influence in
the
ADF
command
structures.
Nothing
could be
further
from the truth of course
with this
tragic
and failed 2nd
Lt.
He
built up a small
following of
equally
deranged mad
supporters who
were
equally as
adept at abuse and
vilification as
he is. Their
particular
penchant has
been
to intrude into the
private lives
of
those they
detest and to try
to
degrade
the War
Service of
several
well known
Veterans. Corse has a deep hatred
of Gen Cosgrove.
Corse
continued on
with his
indescribable
behaviour and now
remains in
the
background of
the
mad
galahs, only
after
having
publicly
failed
to
build an
Empire
for himself and
destroy those who
opposed
him.Corse
has
claimed the mad
galahs [
read
Barry
Corse ] represent
1,000,000
medal
wearing
Veterans! He
remains
backstage,
using others to
publish
his dirty work for him.
Petersen
and
Wiltshire are more than
willing
to
post the
Corse
ramblings.
Before
Christmas
2008 he
claims
he
was
visited
at
3AM
one
morning by somebody he
never
named.
He immediately ran
crying to
the DVA
Minister
to ask
his protection, rather than
report
the alleged matter to
the WA
Police.Corse
rallied the
gang
and
immediately,
without
providing
any proof,
blamed
somebody
from the ANZMI
wannabe
website.
The
damage
this
excuse
for
a
former
Officer
has done
to the image and reputation
of
the
Veteran
community
has
been
incalculable,
and
it will
take
ages
for
our
reputation
to
be
restored
even
if
he
totally
disappears
today.
His
behaviour
can
only
be
described
as
delusional
and
sociopathic. He
really
does need to
seek urgent
mental
help for his own
sake
and
for
the
sake of the Veteran
community.
We
will
have
more
to
reveal
to
you
about
the
behaviour of Barry
Corse and we
are
determined to
see him and his
mad
galahs
relegated to the
nether
world
of
irrelevance and
mutual insanity
where
they
can
spell
bind each other with
their
stupidity.
