It is with much sadness that we inform of the passing of a fellow Commando and CVA member Richmond Matthews of Yeovil Somerset, formerly of No 1 and 1/5 Commandos, who died on 25 March 2012 aged 87 years.

I have no other details at this moment.

Our thoughts are with Richmond's family in their time of sadness.

Rest in peace Richmond.
