Very sad to learn about Gordon Strange who also served Queen and Country on horizons wider than 1 RS. Well remembered from the 1 RS ATk Pl during the Cyprus Emergency of 1974-75.

I was deeply saddened to learn of Gordon Strange’s passing. My sincere condolences to his family.
Mr Gordon Strange
It is with a heavy heart that I have to tell all that another Royal Scot, Gordon Strange, passed this morning, 15 May 2025. Gordon was diagnosed with cancer sometime ago but he would not let that stop him from continuing life to the full right up till very recently. Our sincere condolences go to Moira and the family.
Funeral arrangements will be published when known.
RIP Gordon.
David and the Gang
Shocked and saddened by this news. Thoughts with Moira and Family. RIP Gordon my friend. UTE
Really sad to hear about Gordon
I served with him in Osnabruck and in N Ireland a great guy to be around.
Last saw him a few years at the Royal Scots Club he was smiling and we had
a good chat and lots of laughs when talking about our past.
My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
Thanks for the memories Gordon.
