It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of General Sir Mike “Jackie” Jackson today 15 October. I worked for him twice when he was CGS and in Kosovo - General ‘Jacko’ was a #legend and a brilliant boss. RIP Sir.

Last week we lost one of our own. Sgt Gav Hillier @WelshGuards was a hugely well respected, popular soldier and fine rugby player. Stand down soldier your duty is done.
