I received a text from Capt Des Williams DCM informing me that good old WO2 Ralph Davies 28 has sadly passed away.

Wow, what can I say?

June is certainly taking its quota of the "Cream of the Regiment", claiming yet another icon, and has mercilessly punched a gaping hole in the guts of the RWFCA.

Ralph's background was predominately Sigs Pl and I didn't really get to know him until I was a SNCO in Hong Kong (1970) and enjoyed his company both professionally and socially. Both he and his late wife Betty were the life and soul of the Sgts Mess and the first to embrace and educate new Mess members and wives regarding Mess etiquette!

As a result of postings, I lost touch with Ralph but did bump into him and his brother Alun 46 at the funeral of Rally Jones.

Now re-united with Betty, I would go as far as to say that a contributory factor to his passing was a broken heart!

Sincere condolences to Alun and Lynne plus other family members and friends from myself, Verna and family.

Condolences also from all members of the London Branch RWFCA.

Gerry 43
Hon Sec
