Lt Col Richard John Lees OBE MC was my Commanding Officer while I served in Germany with the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment in the early '80s.
Meeting him for the first time, I saw a tall Major whose curly hair was nearly escaping his beret.
His appeareance belied a dedicated & professional, a man with a natural ability to lead and command respect.
We all worked hard for him, many trophies were won.
The years have robbed me of many memories but I did not forget you sir, it was an honour to know you.
Apologies that I could not be present at your final resting place. RIP
My condolences go out to his family and friends.
