Posts on the Guestbook paused briefly due to the unfortunate and unexpected death of Jim Anderson. This service has now been resumed and posts can be approved. I will not be able to devote the same amount of time to monitoring the Guestbook as Jim did, so I ask for you patience if you submit a post.
Deepest Condolences to Jan and The Family.Jim will be greatly missed by all who knew him

It is with great sadness that we report the death on Sun 16 October 2022 of Mr Jim Anderson. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. Funeral details will be promulgated in due course when they are known.
Jim was a loyal Royal Scot who continued to give great service to the Regimental Trust, particularly in developing the website and managing IT. He will be greatly missed.
Condolences to Jim’s family at this sad time.
I am very sorry to have learned of the death of Jim Anderson, a stalwart of The Royal Scots Association and a wider contributor to our Regimental Pillars through his tireless IT work.
A great many of Jim’s talents were evident to us all in the visible product of his technical expertise. Equally valuable was the work he did behind the scenes, invisible to most of us but nonetheless important.
Jim, a very loyal Old Royal, will be much missed.

A petition has been launched proposing the reinstatement of a dedicated Minister of State for Veterans’ Affairs. If you feel that such an appointment would be beneficial you may wish to consider supporting the petition, which can be found via the link: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/623527

A great turnout yesterday for Mick’s funeral.
Good that his long time pal Tam O’Hara made it over from NZ.
A big well done to Stu Simpson who helped manage the occasion and gave Mick the send off he deserved. Our thoughts remain with Carol and the family.
RIP Mick.
Sad to hear about the passing of Mick, CQMS C Company alongside Pierre Lamont and Joe McCamley in Ballykinler. RIP.
Was a great Charlie Company team in Ballykinler and South Armagh. Mick was a key player and a really loyal Royal; will be thinking of his family tomorrow.
From CQMS store to Company Office to ops in Armagh, all in one seamless movement. Thrown in at the deep end and no mistake!
Bests wishes,
Jungle Jim
I had hoped that this one would follow on from Rossco’s post. Might not make sense otherwise.
There has been a change to the time for the funeral of WO2 Mick Durkin BEM. It will now be held at 1100 on Fri 23 Sep 2022 at Seafield Crematorium, 40 Seafield Rd, Edinburgh EH6 7LD
Unfortunately, due to still having COVID symptoms, I will be unable to attend Mick’s funeral tomorrow. Thoughts will be with Carol and the girls om what will be a very difficult and sad day. RIP Mick my friend.
