23929527 Mr Mick Gear formerly 1st Battalion

It is with great sadness I report the death of a dear old friend to many Mick Gear who served in the 1st Battalion in the 1960’s most notably in Sharjah earning the nickname of Sharjah Mick, whose many stories included street lining for Sir Winston Churchills funeral and standing sentry in the bear pit at the Tower of London, he was also a staunch member of the former Medway Branch of the Association, our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.

We thank him for his service in our great Regiment and may he rest in peace.

Funeral Details will be announced when known.
