It is with deep regret that we inform the Regimental family of the passing of Mr Mervyn Ellis, who passed away peacefully on the 27th of May 2026, at the age of 71.

Mervyn enjoyed a full military career with the 1st Battalion, The Royal Welch Fusiliers, during which he completed five operational tours of duty in Northern Ireland. Following his service in the Regular Army, he settled with his family in Wrexham.

The funeral service will take place on Tuesday, 30th of June 2026, at 12:00 PM at Pentrebychan Crematorium, Pentre-Bychan Rd, Rhostyllen, Wrexham, LL14 4EP. Following the service, the family invites you to celebrate Mervin’s life at the Royal British Legion, 11 Maelor Road, Johnstown, Wrexham, LL14 1NB.

Branch Standards Bearers are invited to attend, if possible.

Dress: Regimental Blazer, Tie and Headdress with Medals.

Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his family and friends at this sad time.

Welcome to the May 2026 edition of the RHQ The Royal Welsh Newsletter.

This month’s edition reflects another busy and successful period across the Regiment, wider regimental family, and associated organisations. From operational deployments in Estonia and reflections on historic service in Iraq, to sporting success, adventurous training, reunions, and preparations for our 20th Anniversary celebrations, the strength of the Royal Welsh community continues to be evident across every area of activity.

A particular highlight this year remains the growing excitement surrounding the Royal Welsh 20th Anniversary celebrations, culminating in the “Party in the Park” event at Cardiff Castle this September. Interest in the event has already exceeded expectations, showing the strong connection among serving soldiers, veterans, cadets, families, and supporters.

This newsletter also highlights the continued professionalism and commitment of our deployed personnel on Operation CABRIT, the achievements of Royal Welsh sports teams and individuals, and the importance of maintaining strong regimental links through association events and commemorations.

Please also note that the RHQ PRI Shop is now open Tuesday to Thursday between 0800 and 1400 hrs.

You can view the May newsletter at the button below. We hope you enjoy this month’s edition.

May Newsletter

Thank you,

RHQ The Royal Welsh
