Belatedly, I must sadly report that 23134491 CoH John Sweeney (73) passed away at home away after a long illness on Saturday, 18 September 2010. John, who was referred to as “Jock the Lock” when the Provost CoH, served from April 1955 to November 1972 initially with the 1st Royal Dragoons and then with The Blues and Royals. A funeral service has already been held.
The condolences of the Association have gone to his partner, Ethel at this sad time.
THE ROYAL DRAGOONS REGIMENTAL COLLECT
O God, in whose sight all creatures are manifest and to whose eyes all things are open, grant that the works Thou requirest of the 1st The Royal Dragoons may never be done to be seen of men, but always for Thy Glory, and that, waiting on Thee to renew our strength, we mount up with wings as eagles at Thy word, through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
(TOBIAS,1930)
