It has been reported on Facebook, that Jack Parry passed away yesterday. No other details as yet.
I remember Jack Parry so well. He was a revered ex-Provost Sergeant and beloved battalion legend, who left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.
He was a larger-than-life personality and a true battalion character.
His legacy will live on in the annals of battalion history.
Rest in peace, Jack. Your memory will forever be cherished in the hearts of those who knew you.
WO2 William John Parry (known as Jack) was a proud member of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and served a long career. During this time, he served as Provost Sergeant.
Sadly, Jack passed away on 11th April after a short illness. Jack will take his final parade on Friday 3rd May at 1200hrs at Glyntaff Crematorium, Cemetery Road, Glyntaff, Pontypridd, CF37 4BE.
Standard Bearers and Comrades are welcomed by the family to attend. Please wear blazers, berets, and gongs. Please be in place at the crematorium no later than 1115hrs. There will be an RBL Parade Marshal in attendance to point people in the right direction.
The family has asked for family flowers only. If you would like to donate, you can, and these can be passed to any family member or the funeral directors.
After the service, you are invited to join the family in celebrating Jack's life with them at The Carne Park Hotel in Abercynon, 'Jack's local', two doors down from his house.
