Here is a photo of the Order Of Service for Alan, sent to me by his Daughter (Patricia) she is also sharing any donations that she receives, between RBL and Us, Thankyou. FN.
RIP,Sadly we have lost another Legend of a Tankie, Yesterday morning the 19th, ALAN KILBRIDE passed to the Green Fields, this is the info from his family :: Yes Dad had lived in Maidstone since 1974 after finishing in the army careers office.
He’s fought a long battle against a few illnesses including dementia. But his memories of the army never went. It was always something we could talk to him about. Although the years he would constantly talk about his army days as they were the best years of his and our lives.
I have spoken with the chairman of the Medway RTR association and they are kindly putting together a guard of honour and standard bearer for the funeral. So we will be sending him off Tankie style. He would be overwhelmed. The funeral is to be held on the 3rd December 2pm at Vinters crematorium Maidstone.
Rest Easy Alan, FN. Wolfie
