Sadly we have been advised of the death of Association member John Gent (`14th Entry) on 19th September, aged 88 years. John was a member of the Dorset Regional Group. I have no further information at this time.
John and I served together in Northern Ireland during the early part of my long stint there. We hadn’t known each at AATS of course but talking one evening in the Mess we soon established that we were ex-apprentices. There then followed the most surreal conversation about family origins in a remote bit of the fell country of Cumberland. Our grandparents must have known each other, and if we had gone back a few more generations we might even have been distantly related.
Good to have known you John. Rest in Peace.
Bryan Clark (27th Entry)
