Sad to announce that Bob Gilbert ex 3 Para, passed away on the 11th February, he unfortunately contracted covid19 and died shortly after being admitted to St Richard's hospital in Chichester.
Bob was, I think, aged 69 he served with 3 Para and also in the depot as a PTI, he did transfer to the army physical training corp but I have no idea when. He served in total 23 years
As well as informing you all I am also reaching out to anyone who may have known / served with Bob as his daughter has practically no knowledge of his time in / his number / how long with Para Regt, etc etc and would love to know more about her dad.
Also by doing this I can then try and organise a presence at his funeral (no idea when) which will be down in Chichester.
I never knew Bob in the Regt, only socially down here on the south coast, a lovely fella who will be sadly missed
RIP Bob
Any info please get back to me
