Regrettably, I have been informed of another death. Richard Jones 10 passed away on Saturday, 6 Aug 2011 in Llandudno Hospice. Richard worked in the Officer’s Mess during the later years of his regimental service.
Our sympathies go out to his immediate family and all those that knew him.
I have fond memories of Richard, a native of Anglesey, on his retirement from the Regiment, he settled with his partner in Penmaenmawr North Wales. Richard was an active member of RWF Comrades and was a Volunteer Custodian at the RWF Museum for may years. He could be describe as a colourful character, helpful and most loyal.

Was he ever in the Med Centre do you know? I'm sorry to say the name is ringing bells but age has made my brain addled and I can't place him.
