Brian (Mighty Mouse) Cooper

[Keith Jones 989]

The world is a lesser place this Sunday morning as I read about the passing of a HUGE personality whom I remember as my section commander in Delta's, on exercise in Kenya in late 1968, I having joined the battalion in Heathfield Camp just a couple of weeks before deploying. Rest in Peace, Brian, it was an honour to have known you and we'll meet again one day.

Sad to hear about Brian. He was a good friend until I left the Bn, Dec 1976. Last time we met was in Lemgo 1979. My condolences to Barbara.

Just to add my condolences to this thread, what an RSM and what a nice man even after he had given you a bollocking (I had a few of them in them days) you still liked him, as the next time you met him he was like a father figure and would help you anyway he could.
God bless him, he will never be forgotten by those that had the pleasure of knowing him.

Respectful a 1215 parade may be, for those picking up and those travelling from the south, a little tight. Suggest that those with standards parade at 1215 and all others make their way by 1230 hours to the church. Any views?

Update on Brian's Funeral arrangements. I have just been talking to Glynn Hughes. He has asked if possible could Branches try and have their Branch Standards on parade at the church.
