It is with deep sadness that I have to report the passing of Len Smith on Monday night. Len has been unwell for some time with cancer and what is perhaps doubly saddening that his wife <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:PersonName w:st="on">Bronwen</st1:PersonName> was also taken by this disease just before Christmas. Len has been involved with the TA and Cadet Association most of his life and his passing will be a great loss to many including his lovely family. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
The funeral service will take place at Aberystwyth Crematorium on Tuesday 22nd February at 1415hrs. I'm led to believe that there are already a fair number of former colleagues of Len attending so I would suggest you arrive at the Crematorium in plenty of time.<o:p></o:p>

Len's passing away will be a shock to a alot of people,personally he taught me a great deal when I was a young Corporal in Aberystwyth,he had great imagination with regard to training and gave an immense amount of time to the military and to society in general,a true legend,
