A member of Denbigh and District Branch RWFCA, Arthur Jones ex 4 RWF, has been missing for a week whilst on a walking holiday in Crete. This was reported in the BBC (Wales) news this lunchtime 26 June 2014. A search of the area, in Crete, is taking place. We wish them luck in finding Arthur and all our prayers are with them.
Thanks Rob, reposted on the Forums Facebook page. Hope there will be a happy ending to this story.

I had heard about this on radio Wales but did not realise he was ex RWF. He is sadly still missing, but I hope he can still be found OK.
Just heard off a friend that they have found a Body in Crete which matches Arthurs Description. They say he was found sitting under a tree or a memorial with his sandwich box down by his side. People have already started to lay flowers around the Cenotaph in Denbigh. RIP Arthur. Braz
We now need to have this confirmed, contact Des at RHQ, and repatriated this true Royal Welch Fusilier at the earliest opportunity.
A body has been found in the search for a Denbigh pensioner missing in Crete.
The son of Arthur Jones, 73, described the news as "deeply upsetting", although the man's body has yet to be formally identified by authorities.
Mr Jones, a keen walker with 40 years' experience, had not been seen since 19 June - two days after he arrived on the Greek island for a holiday.
His family thought he could have gone out walking by himself and may have been taken ill.
