RIP JRSM Johnny Beaumont Kukri Troop 59? to Jul 62 the following is recorded on the Royal Signals Contact website:Johnny died in January 2009 after a long struggle with various forms of cancer. He was a great footballer and mate during our stay in 262 in Cyprus in the mid 60 s. I managed to visit him in late 2008 after a message from Paddy McMurrary-Taylor via the 262 grapevine that he was ill. We spent a couple of hours going through old photos stories and most of all laughing. Barry Ellershaw I emailed Barry and he sent me a photo from the 60s in Cyprus have checked with the Kukri lads from his era including John Maher his senior sergeant at Denbury and later SSM at 8 Sigs

Out of action after undergoing another bout of surgery but now on the road to normality. Congratulations on the new website format and giving me proof of one of my favourite stories about how bad winters were in days of yesteryear which my children never believe. The photograph of White Swan troop carrying bales of hay across Dartmoor during the winter of 62/63 with Sgt Mathieson to the fore was living proof. Regards to all Mucky Duckers out there.
