Cpl Ronald Gee joined the Royal Signals as a boy apprentice, radio technician in 1956. He joined the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars Signals Troop shortly after the Amalgamation and served with the Regiment in Germany, U.K., Aden, and Malaya.

At the start of the emergency in Brunei in December 1962 he was posted there with one of the first ‘B’ Squadron parties and on the 1st January 1963, he was killed in a traffic accident.

Cpl Gee was a first-class technician, a cheerful and willing worker and undoubtedly had a promising future in his Corps. He was a very popular member of the Corporals’ Mess and played prop forward for the Regimental Rugby Team.

He will be sadly missed both in the Royal Signals Troop and in the Regiment as a whole.
