Brian King recently passed away aged 88. His funeral is on the 23rd of July 2024 at the Chelmsford Crematorium at 2.30pm. He will be dearly missed as an old mate and comrade.

Brian joined up as a three-year regular in 1954. He went to Catterick where he trained to be a Teleprinter Operator, and was at Fullwood Barracks, Preston. Then in 1956 he was posted to Buller Camp, Nairobi, East Africa Command Signals Squadron. He was demobed in 1957.

He leaves a wife and three daughters. Our sympathy goes out to them.

R.I.P old friend.

George Cook was my big brother. He joined 59C at Harrogate and graduated as a Radio Tech. He served in Aden, Kenya, 16 Sigs, Bunde and with the TA.

George left the army after a full career and died in his sleep from a heart attack on 25th April 1996. I still miss him.

It is with great sadness that I let you know that my dad, 24080426 Jeff Dean, passed on Monday 10th June 2024 after a brief battle with cancer.

Jeff joined in 1972 as a Radio Relay Tech before moving to Mil Trg. He left in 1994.

He served in 1st Armoured, 16 Sigs, 233 Sigs and AAC Harrogate to name but a few.

To those of you he knew he spoke highly of you and regarded you as friends.

Tony died after being unwell for a couple of years. The last few months were particularly hard for him. He died at home on 26 May 2024.

He started as a Combat Radio Op and then retrained as a Storeman. He served in Catterick, 16 Sigs in Krefeld, Blandford, Hereford, Wildenrath, Catterick and finally completed his 22 years in York.

Did my basic training with Colin in 1971 and then trade training (TE Tech). Sadly he died on the 14th April 2024 after a short illness.

Mike signed on in January 1958 and served in 1st Signal Regiment and 207 Signal Sqn. He spent most of his time in Catterick and Verden, apart from a month in Libya in early 1960 (Exercise Starlight, presumably).

He was a R.Op BII and was made a L/Cpl in 1961, although he left the service as a Signaller in 1964.

Tom Foody served in the Royal Signals from 1959 - 1982, leaving the Army having reached the rank of WO1.

Tom, accompanied by his wife, son and daughter, served in Germany, England, Cyprus and Singapore.

He passed away on February 8th 2024.

I first met Brian when I was on the 1968 White Helmets selection course. He was a brilliant display and cross country rider. At the 1970 Royal Tournament at Earls Court we met up with Trish and Carole, girls we had previously met at the 1969 Tyneside Exhibition. To cut a long story short I married Trish and Brian married Carole. Our two families became very close and went on numerous holidays together.

Brian was a lovely man who loved to have fun, was generous of heart and quick witted. He loved his children and grand children dearly. His greatest love was Carole and his favourite pastime was golf and favourite music was anything by Pink Floyd. From the age of 16 he had a passion for motorbikes which never left him and he justloved going for rides around the Yorkshire dales on his Triumph Bonneville,which he has kept in an immaculate condition.

His passing has left a great hole in the lives of all those who knew him and he will be sadly missed.

John entered AAS Harrogate in Autumn 1955. He graduated in 1958 and was posted to 2 L of C Signal Regt, which later became 16 Signals Regt. He was mainly involved with Radio Relay. He spent time in Aden and was present throughout the Falklands campaign in 1982. He was a WO1 at 11 Signals, Blandford. He retired with the rank of Captain.

Tommie Morris (Ashford, Kent, formerly of Cullaville Road, Crossmaglen).

Tommie passed away peacefully on the 22nd January 2023 surrounded by his loving family. Beloved husband of Mary (nee Earley) and devoted father to Thomas and Patricia (Trish).

Tommie was my SSgt at 16 Sigs and a huge influence on my career.

Signalman Peter Lister served in the Royal Corps of Signals from 6-2-58 to 3-2-60 achieving the rank of Corporal (Army Number 23450444).

He is a good leader and is willing and able to accept responsibility. He is intelligent, has drive and a forceful personality.

I have just been informed that my very good friend, Bob Faulds, passed away today at Harrogate following a short battle with cancer.

We first met 52 years ago (1972) on our B1 course at Catterick. He completed his 22 years with the Corps and retired as a S/Sgt. Some of his postings were 13 Signal Regt, Apprentice College, Harrogate (instructor) and Northern Ireland. He was a keen hockey player and became a registered hockey referee.

Bob was 79 years young. I will miss him.
