I have just been advised by telephone at 6pm this evening from Margaret, Barrie’s wife, that sadly Barrie passed away from a heart attack last Saturday 9th April 2008.

Barrie joined the Royal Marines in 1958 and completed 37years service; his first after training was H.M.S. Vanguard.

For 20 years Barry served in Commando Units, 17 of which he was a Warrant Officer having seen action in many parts of the world including Borneo Malaya, Hong Kong / Chinese border, Person Gulf including Aden, Falklands and had also completed six tours of duty in Northern Ireland.

In 2002 the FVF set out to establish a house in the Falklands for Veterans and their families to use when visiting the Islands.
We are proud to anounce that with the help and support of SAMA 82, many of the Armed Forces Charities and the thousands of people who, over the years, have raised money to help this project, that the order for the house has been placed.

Thank you to all who have helped to make this project a reality, we will keep you posted as to progress.
