January 1970 RAOC Junior Leaders Permanent Staff 1964-1967 Passed away in Munster BAOR, following a short illness Extract from the Corps Gazette April 1970 STAFF SERGEANT R. S. EDDY RAOC HIS many friends in the Corps will have been grieved to lean of the death of Staff Sergeant Eddy, at Munster, on 24th January, following a short illness. Reg Eddy was well known to many hundreds of recruits, during some six years in 1 Training Battalion RAOC, for his cheerfulness and willingness to help all who approached him. He was held in the highest regard by colleagues and recruits alike.After seeing service with 6 Company RAOC in Hong Kong, he returned to Deepcut for a further three years. On that occasion with the Junior Leaders Battalion. He encouraged many by his example, and his passing brings great sadness to friends not only in Munster but in the Aldershot and Camberley area where he saw most of his service. To his widow, Margaret, his daughters Carol and Elizabeth, and his son Roger, we offer our prayers at this time. Staff Sergeant Eddy was accorded full military honours during the service at Hannover Limmer Cemetery on 30th January. EDITORS NOTE: Contributed by Officer Commanding 87 Supply Depot. Any details, memories or photographs that you may have would be most welcome.

Reg, and his wife Margaret, kept a close eye on us "single guys" at Kowloon Tong and they would go out of their way to see we were OK. They also always put on an Xmas Party for some of us at their home. I am sure that there are many Junior Leaders (1964-67) who will also recall Reg with fondness as he was posted to the RAOC Junior Leaders Battalion following his stint in Hong Kong. I was saddened to see his entry in the Gazette, and that he passed away in 1970 as he could only have been in his 50's. A real gentleman, and a true family man. I wonder if his son Roger followed in his footsteps and joined the Corps. Any details, memories or photographs that you may have would be most welcome.
