It is with much sadness that we are advised of the death yesterday 31 March 2020 of Gerald Philip Keelor, a veteran of 3 Commando Brigade Ordnance Field Park. Gerry, as we all knew him, was on the committee of the association in the early days, and a regular at the annual gatherings at Alrewas and Fort William. He had been ill for a long time. Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with his wife Beryl, daughter Sharron, and all his Family and friends.

Rest in peace Gerry.

Do not speak.....unless it improves on Silence.

A good teacher opens the door.....you must enter yourself.
