Permalink Closed

I regret to announce the death of former Serjeant Ken Gyue who served with the 1st Battalion from 1961 to 1983.

Ken died in his sleep on 11th February at home in Portsmouth where he had lived since leaving the Army. He was 67 years old.

His cremation will be held at Porchester Crematorium on Monday 28th February at 10.30am. Members of his regimental family are welcome to attend.

Kenny was a true 1st Bn character. The words Kenny, and , Signals Pln, seemed to always be said in the same breath. Ken never lacked effort when humping those awful A41's. Great Signaller.  
Ken was never happier than when playing football. I have memories of him as a mad, mad goalkeeper. Always up for getting stuck in and making the opposition know he was there.
Gone, but never forgotten. RIP mate.

Sad to hear of Ken's passing. We were signallers together in Penang. Great, if not eccentric goalkeeper. He will always be remembered. Sincere condolences to family and friends. RIP.

Ken, was a Signal Platoon Cpl when I did my first signals course and was then posted into the Platoon in 1968, He along with Spud Taylor, Allan Grant , Paul Jolife, Pete Uden, and other NCOs took us new signallers and taught us our trade, I will always be greatfull for the Knowledge he passed on ,which I hope I put to good use overv many years, As others have said Ken was always up for playing sport on a Wednesday afternoon.

RIP Ken untill we all RV with  ex members of 92A, don't wind up Pete Uden to much!

I didn't know Ken that well, but I do remember his flamboyant displays as goalkeeper in Hong Kong.  Rest in peace Ken, and my sincere condolences to your close friends and family.

A true 1 RGJ character.

Yesterday was Kenny's funeral. I recieved a message from Martin John Rogers that he attended and was the sole representative of the Regiment.
The occasion was further saddened by the fact that Kenny's wife is very ill in hospital and she was unable to attend her husbands cremation.
A sad day indeed for Ken's family.
RIP mate.

Ken.

I have have just seen the notice of your death in 2011.

We played a lot of football together all over the place and at different levels.

May you still be playing up there and giving us a laugh with your performances.

Albert Trout GJ Oxs & Bucks 43 &52, 1RGJ 1960-1968,
