I've spent a bit of time researching those who died on operations whilst serving in the Corps. I've obviously had to put a cut-off point somewhere so I chose 1968. For one thing it's famous for being the only year of the 20th century when no British soldiers were killed on active service (officially at least). It also marks the time when the withdrawal from empire was more or less complete, the future being a long campaign in Ulster and the Cold War. I would hazard a guess that the careers of most ARRSE users fit into the '1968 to 2009 or Somewhere In-Between' timeframe. Some of the info is pretty thin on the ground, especially with regard to the First Gulf War so please help out if you can. Me being me, I'm sure I've ballsed-up spellings and dates etc so please post any corrections. I've also only included deaths on ops. Perhaps we can add a section for non-operational fatalities if anyone has any info?

I was going to mention that Lawrence wasn't on the Falklands war list.

As I read this thread and I slowly looked through the names listed it was very sad to realise that out of the 40, I had known three of the fallen personaly during my service. 64 - 88
Ian Donald,was a top guy when i knew him as our troop Recce Sgt 7 Fd Sqn a professional through and through, who lead from the front in anything he did http://www.freewebs.com/shiney7/inmemory.htm.
Sapper Ghandi i recruited into the Corps whilst serving in ACIO Wembley in the 70s he joined 59 Commando RE after training a realy committed guy who stood out even at the recruiting office stage. I remember him coming back to the ACIO after pass out proud as punch.
Lt Col Coe was CO 28 Amph Engr Regt Hameln gunned down in front of his family , by the IRA during that time when they sought easier pickings in Germany .My wife worked as a civilian in the Regt, and he was a very well liked guy with time for everyone.
Thankyou for sharing your experiance with the rest of us i hope to visit the Memorial on a trip back to the UK in the future Rest in Peace Guys

Miss you Sean and Jake :(
