Terry Pope

Just to inform all the members that unfortunately, Terry Pope is now seriously ill with cancer and although he has been battling it for over a year now, he has now been told that he has only a few weeks to live.

I will, of course, keep everyone updated as to his situation.

Sorry to hear Terry is losing his fight with Cancer, my thoughts are with Terry and his Family, last saw Terry at the Red Dragon St Davids dinner in 2009, He was in good health there singing along with the French Team by the bar, Terry a character and an half a true D Coy boy.

Thinking of Terry and his family "Ugly Nick"

In as much as I enjoy logging on to the forum, updating me with all the geographical goings on plus enjoying the banter, there is the occasional thread that hits us hard when we hear of the plight of one our comrades - this is such a thread!

Words don't mean much at such a trying time but it is hoped that Terry and his family will realise a little comfort from the messages that have been placed on the forum from his regimental chums. Indeed, off the forum and once the news has found it's way around the Regimental curcuit, there will probably be an abundance of concerned messages for both Terry and his Family.

Very sad news,

Sad news indeed.
I often bumped into Terry in the early nineties when I first moved back home to the Rhondda.
We would usually chat and have a laugh over a pint he could make you laugh no matter how low you were feeling.
Terry thinking of you and your family.

Very sorry to hear about Terry, he was one of the first that I met when I joined the Bn (Deltas) in Warminster, what a character. My thoughts are with him and his family.

From keith may and all at cardiff branch our thoughts are with with terry and his family at this terrible time

So sad sympathies go out to all his family.

What can I say that hasn't been said by everyone else on theis thread. Benny is absolutely right Terry Pope is a legend in RWF terms. A fantastic rugby player a sense of humour that could not be matched by anyone else and of course that unforgetable toothless smile! As Tony Corbett said also, I was also lucky to have caught it and I know it's a worrying time for family friends and for Terry himself. I'm sure he will have his spirts lifted knowing that all his friends and fellow Royal Welchmen are thinking of him during these difficult times.
Can I also pass on the same sentiments from all the members of the Aberystwyth Branch RWFCA a number of whom served with Terry in the 1st Battalion.

It's been a long time now but I'll never forget "I'm a Troll foldy roll and I'm going to f*** you after supper" It still cracks me up. lol
Good time on and off the rugby pitch.

Our thoughts and love are with you and your family Terry at this trying time.
Ned and family

Germany 79. Jack Murphy section commander, Terry was the 2i/c. What a section. Brilliant times. I'm 17yrs old and awestruck at these guys. I still have vivid images of Terry washing his feet in the boiling vessel every evening in the back of the 432. The brew always had a tang!! We're all thinking of you Terry.

sad news about Terry. Our thoughts are with is family at this sad time, Peelow and family.

I did my trainging with Terry in 74 in Crick. & I used to babysit for him & Marilyn in Tidworth. I can still remember the night I was going into Walters bar in Lemgo & he was coming out & about an hour later he came running in & asked had any one seen his car outside the bar ?? It was then found burnt out up the woods.

Spider and I are really to sorry to hear that Terry is so ill. He and Marilyn were great friends to us as far back as Tidworth days when we were first married. Here's hoping that a miracle may happen.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Terry and Marilyn and their family.

Debra and Spider Hughes

Our thought and prayers are with you Terry

Spent a couple of hours with Terry today down at Holme Towers Penarth, with Neil Locke and Paul Roffi, Terry was fine in himself and very cheerful, we had a good chat, mostly about life in the battalion and rugby. He sends his regards to all that know him.

Very Sorry and sad to hear of our Terry's illness, our thoughts go out to Terry's Family, Friends and Fellow Comrades' at this time.
