Roll of Honour:

From Dave Lane – He was in the same platoon (Right Flank) as me in Guards Company. What I do remember about him was that he was a really nice bloke a proud Scot and a good boxer.

From Graham Fowler – I met Jock him several times in recent years at Black Sunday which he used to attend regularly whilst he was stationed at ACIO Reading until retiring some two years ago. I served with him on several occasions in both Battalions. A nice helpful and very kind man.
