My sincere condolences to Jo and family. I was able to take a trip to see Tony a few weeks ago, and what stood out a great deal was his sense of humour, even at this time. What a brave man.

God bless mate, see you later.....

Simmo,

I think the dates of Tony's service at the top of the page are wrong.  Take care mate.

Thanks Simmo. 

Sorry to bring it up on this board but he would have been well annoyed if I hadn't and I'm sure he'd have done it for any of us. 

Tony was on the Belfast '84 tour and later came to A Coy for a while and was still there while we were in Colly in '87.  I think 1978 - 1991 would be nearer the mark.

Farewell to a much loved Greenjacket of the Third Battalion.

My sincere condolences to Jo and family.

I will always remember Tony as a professional and proud Greenjacket and for his great sense of humour, he had the ability to make everybody laugh and I cannot recall a time when he did not have a smile on his face.

He was a top bloke, and I am proud to have been able to serve with him and share his friendship.

Rest easy Tringy, see you one day at the big reOrg.  

Celer et Audax

Tony Ling was in my Recce Pl 87-88 for the South Georgia tour. During the Bn SAAM at Hythe & Lydd we went to my parents house nearby for a Platon BBQ. The first photo below is from that evening. Tony, among others went for a swim in the pool, but played a trick on us by leaving a barbequed sausage floating on the surface of the pool. My father was horrified, thinking that it was something other than a sausage!!

He was great fun to have in the platoon, and was a typically mischievous 3RGJ Rifleman. He will be missed by all who served with him.
