I knew Alan but not very well I was only a Fus in 1966 and was in Cyprus with him My Father was the Med Sgt at the time and myself and one other escorted Alan's coffin to the mortuary from up country in the back of a box ambulance.

Hi Johnny, Thank you so much for your post. May I ask if you knew how he died at all? I was told it was natural causes, however this could be a multitude of things. Any information would be gratefully accepted. Thank you again.
