TORREVIEJA ROYAL BRITISH LEGION HONOUR CHARLES HENRY SARGEANT

Charles Henry Sargeant (Chas)

On Tuesday 8 October, the Torrevieja Branch of the Royal British Legion said a fond farewell to a Loyal Member Charles Henry Sargeant (Chas) who died on Wednesday 3 October at the age of 68

Chas who was in the The Green Jackets  (now the Rifles Division) was born in East Redford and spent his early years in Germany as his father was a Major in the Green Jackets, but the majority of his childhood was spent in Purley Surrey, While in Northern Ireland he met and married his wife Edith and had three children Mandy, Emma and Jamie.  Chas was a real character, loved his music and attended regular reunions, but most of all he loved his classic cars, Arsenal of course and his motorbike, and was a strong member of the Royal British Legion Bikers Division.  Those who knew Chas will no doubt remember him as good fun and always laughing; he had a heart of gold and lots of friends. 

The standards were displayed in respect of Chas´s military service and membership to the Royal British Legion, the standard bearers were: Rick Shiel, Ken Archer and David Laverick, and the Last Post was played by John Atkin.  The service was conducted by Pastor Keith Brown, and a tribute was give by his Cousin ColinMacGregor.  His son Jamie also thanked everyone for attending and said his father would have been very proud.

Chas leaves behind 3 children, 7 Grandchildren and 1 Great Granchild, and his partner of 30 years, Dee.

Got to know Chas and Edie in Celle late 1971. Chas was a larger than life character, great company and along with Edie, made everyone welcome in his house. Thoughts and best wishes with Chas's family at this time.

I first meet Charlie in Celle when he joined 1RGJ, then in later times at Sandford where he attended the Durbar week many times, along with Mandy and her family, we had a lot of fun, but only won the quiz once although we entered every night!

Regards and sympathy to Mandy and all the family.

Brian and Blanche Darvill
