I'm totally gutted, haven't been on for a while and only just found out via Trigger. Lee was a sound guy and operator, what a loss. My deepest sympathy to all his family

Sad to hear of another young Royal Welch man's life lost to soon, I only knew him as another member of the pioneer platoon, ( thanks for the photo at the start of this post to refresh my failing memory, ) but what everyone has written about him has told me that he was well liked and will be missed by all that knew him.
I would like to thank every one that has taken time out to post a thread on this, as I can not find the THANKS box at the end of any therads.

Gwynant was a really great lad and as everyone has said just a genuine lovely bloke.

RIP Mate

So sorry to hear about 69. He was a fine Royal Welchmen who, in many ways, epitomised our ethos. Hardworking, unassuming, not seeking any praise but just getting on and doing a damn good job. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. With deepest sympathy, Bob
