Capt Bill Sherman, Wiltshire County Chairman, has informed the Association of the death of Ex Cpl Barry Shears in June this year at the age of 79. Mr Shears served with 1 DERR and was injured in the Ballykinler Bomb on 28 October 1974 (see below). In spite of his own injuries, Cpl Shears carried a very severely injured comrade, who was bleeding profusely, out of the destroyed Sandes Home and thus undoubtedly saved his life. |
Mr Barry Shears.
RIP Farmers Boy, condolences to your family and friends
