It was an honour and a privalige to have served in the same Regiment as such a man as you Garth.  You were, and always will be, an absolute legend.  The world is less of a place with out the likes of you.  RIP Garth and sincere condolences to your family, friends and the remaining members of the Regiment.

I remember Garth well, he used to come over to "A" Coy in Celle quite often, as his brother was also in 3 RGJ. I remember him as a soft spoken man with a quick wit and a wry smile. I met Garth many years later in south London, he had not changed and I reconized him instantly, he was once again just as amiable as he was in Celle.

One more leaving so early.
 
My condolences to all his family.
