tom 12 ex sigs plt

[Alun Cleaver]

Just heard the tragic news about Tom 12 and I’m totally shocked. Everybody who served with him, especially those in the sigs platoon, will mourn his passing.He was a great friend and the wonderful memories I have of him will stay with me always. `Gone but not forgotten’, was written for the Tom 12s of this world. Deepest condolences to his family at this difficult time and I hope all these tributes to a wonderful man help in some small way. Alun Cleaver.

I can only endorse the comments of fellow members especially Bob who has described Tom to a Tee, I always looked up to Tom and respected him for his qualities as a human-being and fellow soldier, I met Tom in Tidworth and really got to know Tom on Snow Queen in Lemgo, where he was know as Mr A to B for his direct approach to Skiing, such a great two weeks were Toms humour played an major role, I will like all miss Tom, but like us old soldier I am sure he will keep us a chair in Pronto s Bar with our many lost comrades! RIP mate.

What sad news. A Royal Welchman who achieved so much in his time and who was so willing to help others benefit from his wisdom.

A real loss. My thoughts go to his family and close friends.

Elwyn Thomas 12. What a true Royal Welchman and indeed a friend. Tom borrowed me a fiver in Tidworth in '74. I paid him back at the beginning of the month, but by the end of the month I was skint again and asked him again for the sub of a fiver. Each month I paid Tom back, and at the end of each month I would borrow the fiver back again. It took till the middle of '75 to actually pay Tom back the fiver. That's the sort of guy 12 was. I was with Tom on R&R in Gibraltar in '76 and those others with us will remember what a time we had.

Rest in peace my friend and God Bless.
