Very sad news.
A Top Bloke, knew him reasonably well, both coming from the same background.
I knew he was ill, but didn't realise just how bad. In fact on the last occasion we met he informed me how his illness was taking over and affecting his life, but that he would try and fight it and continue to enjoy his hobby.
We shared an interest in The Essex Regiment and I took him to the museum on a couple of occasions to chat with Keith and Ian there.
He was certainly a proficient researcher and historian of many things military.
If anybody is passing on sentiments and messages to the family, please offer my sympathy to Helen.
Thanks.
Brian
