He was great character in 1RWF. Truly a guy who had no enemies. Known to all ranks as "Cossie" He started off in Alphas in Lemgo, then finally found a niche for himself in the Regimental Pioneers. Its very sad news. I'm certain the guys living in the province will want to know the funeral details. My deepest condolences to his family.
