Shocked to read that Frank has gone. I first met Frank when he was a young Bombardier, a candidate on a District Jr NCO course in the late seventies. His easy going manner led to the staff referring in private to him as "Frank".

I saw Frank often each year due to various requirements. He was always there. A solid guy. It was interesting to watch a young soldier progress to the appointment of RSM of his regiment.

Stand Easy Frank. All who knew you are better for it.
