It is with much sadness that Ernie Brown advises us of the recent death on the 20th February 2019 of Willie Orr. Our sincere condolences to all his Family and friends.
Willie passed the All Arms Commando Course in 1976 when the Unit was designated as 289 Parachute Battery RHA (V). His course was in preparation for the change to a Commando role in 1977 and subsequent redesignation as 289 Commando Light Battery RA (V).
Rest in peace Willie.
Willie Orr
b.18.7.1931

Pete Rogers, son of LSgt Joe Rogers MM & nephew of TSM Ken McAllister. Both No2 Commando.
God and the Soldier, all men adore, In time of danger and not before.
When the danger is passed and all things righted, God is forgotten, and the Soldier slighted.
