So sorry to hear that Ray 99 had passed away. He was a great stalwart of 1RWF and a wonderful mentor for many young officers. He will be sorely missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family.

There are many kinds of sorrow
In this world of love and hate
But there is no sterner sorrow
Than a soldier's for his mate

Oh Dear,

Saddened again by the passing of one of the Battalion characters.

To add to the tributes already paid, 99 was one of the influences on my service life just after I joined the Bn - an impish, wicked and infectious sense of humour but always professional. Indeed, I remember when he was involed with recruit continuation training, he was always prepared to come back into the barrack room in the evenings, coupling training with humour thus establishing a rapport within the squad - we did become pals eventually.

99 loved to socialise and during his service, both him and Hilary would contribute to the full in every Mess or Club that they were members of.

Verna and I offer our deepest symathy and condolences to Hilary and her family at this sad time.

RIP 99
