IT SADDENS ME AND IRENE THAT OUR CLOSE FRIEND HAS GONE, WE SAW HIM MANY TIMES DURING HIS ILLNESS AT HOME AND IN HOSPITAL. WE MET DON AND GWEN IN GIBRALTAR AND HAD MANY GOOD TIMES TOGETHER. WE BECAME REALLY GOOD FRIENDS WHEN HE CAME TO ENGLAND AND WORKED AT 145 BRIGADE,A FEW EVENINGS OUT AND A GAME OR 2 AT THE BOWLING IN EASTLEIGH. WE SHALL MISS HIS LOVELY SMILE AND SENSE OF HUMOUR. A TRUE FRIEND. GOODNIGHT DON, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN OUR THOUGHTS. CHRIS AND IRENE.

Our hearts go out to Gwen Corrine Kevin and Paul his family who he adored God Bless You Don  Steve & Barbara Wareing

like Macker got to know Don when he was a LE Officer- OC HQ 2RGJ in Bosnia 98 - Recce Pl were attached and he oved having us with him.

Could not bluff him, blue lights were knicked from RMP landrovers in GV(T) He knew it was the Recce, tryed to bluff him, but he was right and the lights were soon found!

 

RIP Don, a true Green Jacket

Sincere Condolences to the Family and Friends of Major (Retd) Don Duncan KRRC-2RGJ-3RGJ

The Last Time I saw Don Duncan was at the Cpls Mess Regimental Dinner Night @ Palace Barracks NI. During the Evening it started to get a Bit out of Hand. Scouse Barlow done some Dancing on the Mess Table. The RSM wasnt Happy. Don Took Order.

The Dancing Stopped.

He Talked to the Mess as he was the Guest of Honour. a Pin could have Dropped.

 

I only saw him once when he had a (Blue Veiner) that was enough.

Always Firm but Fair to the Blokes.

RIP

Another of the best . I remember him when I first entered Penn Bks Feb 1972. Looked the part, sense of humour but boy if you tried it on, then the heavens opened on you. Taught me everything. My condolances to his family and our family will miss him.

 

RIP Don

I am sorry to hear that.   Did Major Donald R. Duncan receive a Cloud and Banner award from Chiang Kai Shek(former president of China)?

Only recently got into the internet and have been looking up some people from 2RGJ, upon searching for Captain Duncan I came upon this site.  I am devastated to hear about his passing and although a while has now gone by I just wanted to say my thoughts are with Gwen and his family.  

He was an amazing man and had a massive impact on my life in 2RGJ, since I came out many years back i've thought of him with a smile many many times.

He will be loved and missed by so many people.
