Its with fondest memories that I will remember Eifion, he was always there with sound advice if and when I needed it. Deepest sympathies goes to Wenna and his family at this sad time.

A very sad day. I never really got to work with Eifion until I made it into the Sgt´s Mess. That being said, as a young Fusilier in Lemgo, I certainly knew all about him.

He was admired by all of my era of young Fusiliers because at that time, he was a rare breed of SNCO who always showed kindness and respect to the young soldiers, but was never weak. He was very approachable, and he was always rich with humour. A highly intelligent soldier who was respected by all. Those qualities made him stand out amongst his peers. When I later joined the mess, and as Eifion climbed further up the ladder, those qualities never deserted him.

Deepest condolances to Wenna and their family, and of course to his brother Keith. Your all in our thoughts.

Sad news and only just read the forum REF Eifion's passing. As already said a true gentleman willing to help any one out, certainly helped me out in Wrexham on posting a few times. Sincere condolinces to Wenna and family from Debbie and myself, also from the lads in Iraq who knew Eifion and wenna. God bless.

My deepest condolences t o Eifion's family, i served with him during my time in Sigs and he was my Det commander in Belfast and i'm sure i'm only repeating what others have stated in that he was a true gentleman and nothing was too much trouble for him and he had time for all. God Bless you Eifion.

To Keith, Wenna and family deepest condolences - even in the back streets of Cornwall he spotted me - spent many a shift on Ops together in the back of a 432 - and it was good to speak welsh (Covy Dre) from time to time I will miss him.
