Sad news indeed. My condolences to Bev Alan's wife and his family. I was at Arborfield Boys School at the same time as Alan. He was a really good Boxer and as he was senior to me someone I could look up to. After I left the Army I lived in Wallop and there was Al as Lord John the DJ at the mobile disco. I was also at Kluang during his tour and did not see him again until I bumped into him one day at the Grayshott Football Club where he had come to watch his son play. A few more years passed and I received an email from him saying he was coming to Australia for a tour of the country. I picked him up at the airport and as it was my birthday we gave the Irish whiskey a hammering. We had the pleasure of Al and Bevs company for a couple of weeks which was a blast .He had a great time in AUS and wrote about it in an e-book . Happy memories for all my family he will never be forgotten.
