CAPTAIN EDWIN BARRY JEWKES
 Killed in action on 5th May 1964 in the Radfan area of the South Arabian Peninsula while attached to 3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment. "Barry" as he was affectionately known to the whole of the 1st Battalion, was well loved. A natural gentleman and a fine sportsman. His great game was Rugby Football. Both as a player and as Team Captain he was well above the average, inspiring the whole team by his cool, safe play and devastating tackles. After the game his personal standards were an example to all others and he kept the more boisterous within bounds without detracting from the fun. Yes, life was fun for Barry. He lived every minute of it to the full and the died, gloriously, under fire helping one of his soldiers. His death is a sad and personal loss to us all, particularly to "Goody", his wife and his son Mark; also, of course to his parents who we had the privilege of meeting in Germany. He was known, liked and respected by all from the humblest Fusilier to the General Officer Commanding his Division. It was a great privilege knowing him. Maurice Note from Maurice I came across this obituary to Captain Edwin Barry Jewkes the other day. Can't think why he was not decorated for bravery, he laid down his life for a comrade? He was certainly the best rugby player we had at that time. To read about the action Barry was killed in  |
