Jock Ongley just broke the news to me on the bone, that STUART HOODS died in his sleep last night in Lemgo. - I am so sorry, (as I am sure others are) - I was very close to him having been an instructor in his recruit Platoon at Canterbury. then with him in "A" & "SP" Coy for many years. - I will produce the Regimental Obituary. - This is a big shock for me after losing DAVE RAINEY & BOB BUMSTEAD, but we have to keep moving & treasure the memories that remain. - RIP -
