Mr Brown has been a military man most of his life, signing up in 1965 with REME, serving in West Germany, Malaysia and Singapore.
He was promoted to lance corporal in physical training, Staff Sergeant in military training in 1972, dealing with new adult recruits to the army of the Rhine, and finishing as Sergeant Major in the electrical engineers after 23 years’ service.
