The Desert Rats Association and Medway branch of The Royal Tank Regiment Association have recently lost a generous, popular and well respected member. After leaving school, Ray took an apprenticeship with Jaguar and became a fully qualified mechanic. Being ‘called up’ in 1951, he joined the Royal Tank Regiment. As a National Serviceman, he completed basic training in Catterick, ‘passing off’ as best recruit! His next move was to Bovington for trade training after which he was posted to 7 RTR in Hong Kong. He was the Troop Leaders driver on an A34 Comet tank. Ray loved his time in the Far East and spoke fondly of his exploits there! He was an all-round sportsman, who excelled at boxing.
