Eddie Flanagan sadly passed away on the 17th December 2024 after suffering a fall.
He spent some time in Hospital and a Nursing Home.
He served in 36 Regiment for many year's, transitioning from Anti Aircraft Guns to Guided Missiles.
He served in Malta, Shoeburyness, Duisburg, Dortmund, Shoeburyness again, and returned to
Dortmund in 1971. He received his LS&GC Medal at Shoeburyness in 1970.

and lived in Wadebridge, Cornwall.
We extend our condolances to all his family and friends.

Tommy was a very well respected member of F Troop (Dragon) Bty where I first met him
at Shoeburyness in 1968, he also served in Dortmund and Larkhill. Tommy was
someone you could rely on and would have your back in any situation.
Many will have their memories of him.
We extend our deepest sympathy to his son's Callum and Struan and all the family.

Ken Brown
I am very sad to report that Ken passed away on the 27th June.
Ken was a very well respected member of our E Troop TIR detachment
being our REME Tec on the Radar and very much part of our team.
Ken's funeral took place on the 24th July at Porchester Crematorium,
and I thank Terry Rowland and Ted Stanford for attending and
representing us there.
Ken was a great supporter of our Reunions and came to many over the year's
usually accompanied by his good friend Frank Woodall (RIP).
We extend our deepest sympathy to his daughter Marion and all his the family.

Fred Ellis
I am very sad to report the passing of Fred on the 28th August, aged 83.
Fred served with 36 Regiment in West Germany between 1962 - 1965.
Many who served at that time would have remember Fred, especially Rod Pearce,
Dave Pearce and the late Wayne Walker who you can see in the photo above.
Fred also spoke warmly of his time in the Regiment and attended our Reunions.
We extend our deepest sympathy to Sheena and all of his the family.
R.I.P.
