  • Jim Walmsley 1 Para Red Devils.

    image.jpg

    So sad to report the passing of Jim Walmsley after a short illness. Jim was a terrific Pl Sgt in D Coy 1 Para and one of the original Red Devils' a terrific coach and mentor to many of us as young lads, he will be sadly missed.

                I worked with Jim a few times during our careers, he was a good man, never gave up on what he was doing, and never to proud to lend a helping hand to others in need or distress. He will be missed, and I will miss him, rest well mate, you deserve it.

                  I considered Jim to be a mate. Knew him when he first joined 1 Para (I think it was anti-tanks but probably be corrected). Always a steady bloke with a great sense of humour. I was asking about him a few months ago to see if anyone knew of his whereabouts, he had a strong Scouse accent and I wondered if he had settled around Liverpool. Jim left an impression, as a Tom on exercises he was always willing to give a lift to the guys who were tabbing with heavy loads. Truly sorry to hear of his passing before seeing him again. It is odd how for some reason former mates come to mind and suddenly you learn that they have passed on. Went down West country with him and others to 'sell' the Paras, got rat arsed on scrumpy, our behaviour was so atrocious young civvy blokes were fighting to join. Condolences to his family and friends. Goodbye Jim. Wig
