A few words from Brian, transferred from his Secretary’s page:
“I served with The Royal Regiment of Artillery for 22 years, leaving with the rank of Staff Sergeant, a Battery Quartermaster Sergeant. Living in Shrewsbury, I joined The Queens Own Mercian Yeomanry (QOMY) when I left The Colours, and commanded a Troop, before moving on to the local HSF Company, which happened to be part of 15 Battalion RAOC. Subsequently that formation, D (HSF) Company, was transferred to the QOMY and became D(HSF) Squadron QOMY, and I was reunited with some old mates.”
The Association extends its deepest sympathy to Heather and her family, as they remember Brian and the sunshine that he brought us all.
