He had a good innings in reaching 90 years of age. I always walked on glass when entering the QM's in his days at Bradbury Lines. I still wear a G10 aviators watch he issued me with in 1972, and which became a talking point when we met. RIP

Fashionably late......just got the news via an association email:
Snip:
RIP.It is with great sorrow that we have to inform members of the death of Major Joe Schofield MBE aged 90. He passed away yesterday evening with his family around his bed. A true SAS legend has left us. Joe served in 1 SAS, 21 SAS, 22 SAS and 23 SAS and saw service with the Wartime Regiment in North Africa,The Western Desert, Sicily, Italy. France, Germany and with 22SAS in Malaya and Aden. Possibily the longest serving SAS soldier of all time from 1941 until 1987. A great supporter of the Association who will be much missed by his many SAS friends and comrades. As soon as we know funeral details we will let members know. A very sad day.
Vale.The above is a temporary digression while I ride one of my hobby horses, a rant by me a soldier, failed lothario and inmate of a proudly independent country, founded by thieves and whores. The gratuitous opinions and comments contained above are more scatological than ideological. Scientific tests conducted by "The Ponds Institute" have determined that I have a very tenuous grasp on reality. You are reading the thoughts one of the biggest wanker currently walking around on four, oops, two legs. I have an ill-informed opinion on pretty much everything. In conclusion there is no truth to the rumour that I am a Philanthropist, Sesquipedalian, World Traveller, and Bon Vivant. Although, I may or may not of been associated with Left and Right Wing authors & lecturers, travellers & bums, wars fought, revolutions started, assassinations plotted, uprisings quelled, governments run, subversion's organised, Communists terrorised, bars emptied, bars filled, Virgins converted, Tigers tamed, Crocodiles castrated, and students tortured.

My sincere sympathy to the Schofield family. I have just come accross a letter that Joe was kind enough to sent to a relative of mine regarding the time he served with my uncle, Sgt. Chris O'Dowd. They had known each other since the early days of the Commandos. It was most informative! Rest in peace Joe and thanks.
