Guys who served in 1 PARA in Bahrein and went through the Battle School in the early 70s will remember Jack. A real tough guy who had been a professional wrestler and had the cauliflower ears to prove it. He terrorised all the DS at Brecon by looming out of the gloom all cammed up and carrying all the weight, invariably as everyone had just got a brew on. RIP Jack.
