Another true Royal Welchman who has passed on. RIP Wally my friend.
Remember him well what a man. R.I.P.
I remember Wally in Hong Kong but did not have much contact with him. But I know he was a great man. R.I.P.
Oh Dear, another sad chapter in our Regimental History. I first met Wally in June 1963 when I joined the Bn in Iserlohn and eventually posted to A Coy where he was a Platoon Cpl.
For the past 17 months he has been my Rhondda neighbour since my move from the West Midlands. He never did get over the loss of his beloved Marian - now reunited.
