Members very sad news but Tom 12 ex sigs plt passed away today no further information at this time,my heart goes out to Toms family and friends at this very sad time RIP TOM a true royal Welch man xx

[Gwyn Nicholas]

This is the saddest possible news. Elwyn was without doubt the kindest, most thoughtful person I have ever had the privilege to meet and to call friend. His advice and guidance made all the difference to my service and I will be eternally grateful to him for that and his friendship. He was a first class instructor, knowledgable, patient and at all times approachable whether inside or outside the classroom and remained as such regardless of the rank he attained. It is said very often but Tom 12, was a legend in his own time, truly a one-off, irreplacable Gentle-man the like of whom we are rarely privileged to meet. His passing will be deeply felt by many. God bless you Elwyn till we meet again.

So sad what a great man and i think what gwyn says about covers it all a true royal welchman and will be sadly missed by every one who had the privaliege to meet him rip my friend

What a sad loss, Tom looked after me from the time I completed my first Sigs Course in Tidworth when he found out I was from Maesteg like him. Throughout his career in the Royal Welch he would also look out for me.

When I finally joined the Signals he put on the right path until I left to join Bravo's, though we would still meet up for a pint now and again when we were both home in the valley.

That's two from the Platoon this month hopefully no more soon.

I hope I can get to the funeral to pay my respects to such a great man.

At least you have a great mate in 80 to keep you company.

RIP 12. God Bless.

Very sad news regarding Elwyn (Tom 12). Without doubt he was a star, and when with people like Fred Dargie he was even better.

I endorse every word Gwyn's tribute to Elwyn, Elwyn was a lovely bloke and a true friend to me, I have not seen him since leaving the Army but never forgot him, he will be sadly missed by those who were close to him. I and Jan send our deepest condolences to Elwyn's family and friends on this sad occasion. RIP Old mate, until we meet again.

I joined the Sigs platoon in Tidworth like Dai 72 and Tom was a guiding light, he had the patience of a saint and when I couldn't get my head around SG levels in battery acid he, together with Corky (you old fella's must remember him) sat me down and went through each step. I never ever saw him lose his rag. Real Gent, god rest.
