He was an inspiration. A gentle kind man who led from the front & had a great influence on all of us who served in Bermuda. We had a very happy & efficient Company. He was liked by everyone & the fact that during the whole of the time we served together, not one soldier got in to trouble with the police or civil authorities is a tribute to his leadership. The many friends from that Company still keep in touch & it is good to see some of their comments.

It was a priviledge to have met such a brave soldier.
He was highly respected by all the men under his command.

Col. J. Anthony Marsh. I had the good fortune to be his driver, when I did my National Service with the DCLI in Bermuda from 1954 to 1956.

I have many happy memories of my time in Bermuda and of serving under such an inspiring Commanding Officer. He was a very modest man, who never mentioned his wartime exploits, so I found your article extremely interesting.
