Roy -taff- as he was known to many died very suddenly on 6th December 2011. My son organised the Marine beret and flag for the funeral. We left Plymouyh 1974 after our first son Gerald was born and moved to Swansea. I just wanted to let the friends that served with Roy to know.

I attended a cold weather training evolution in Scotland and Norway in the early 90's. I would like to track down Marine Justin Hansell. I believe he was at one point a police officer. If anyone is in contact with him or anyone else I had served with and could pass on my info it would be appreciated.
