It is with deep regret that we must announce the death of Lance Corporal Kyle Burns, aged 36 from Cancer.

As a qualified Team Commander, he assisted in training recruits with the Regional Training team and has also taken part in the Lord Mayor parade mounted on horseback with 71 (Y) Sigs Regt.

Lately, he was a member of the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Welsh MT Platoon and had completed Annual Deployments, Driving Cadres, normal AR duties and commitments. Kyle was a keen Adventurous trainer and hill-walker.
