| RSM C.D. SLATER. |

| PLEASE QUOTE REF: lead091 |
| It is a matter of regret to all members of the Regiment that the end of this term sees the departure of the RSM, WO I C. D. Slater, Royal Welch Fusiliers, after a stay of only four terms. Mr. Slater has been popular with Permanent Staff and Junior Leaders alike, since his arrival here in September 1961. He is to be posted to Germany, where he will have the honour of becoming RSM of the 1st Battalion of his Regiment. |
| Mr. Slater first joined his Battalion at Christmas 1940, when it was back in England after Dunkirk. He has been with the Battalion, with slight interruptions (including a spell as instructor at the R.M.A., Sandhurst) ever since. This has taken him to India and Burma during the war, to Berlin at the time of the Berlin Blockade, to the West Indies at the time of Dr. Jagan's arrest, and to Cyprus during the Emergency. From all these he has emerged fairly well intact, although his nose still bears marks of an unfriendly mortar bomb. |
| Mr. Slater and his family have greatly enjoyed their stay at Tonfanau, and on their departure the connection will be maintained, for the eldest of their three sons is staying as a boarder at Towyn Grammar School. The Regiment wish Mr. and Mrs. Slater every happiness and success in the future, and remind them that Tonfanau will always be pleased to see them. |
