Dennis(He liked to be called JIM )(Also known in the army as Big Jim & Jungle Jim) was my older half brother but more like a Father, a long serving soldier of 25 years during which,he saw active service in Malaya (RASC 3 Coy Ipoh) & Attached (RASC) to The Trucial Oman Scouts.
After losing his wife Celia to the big C after they both endured a long & brave battle in the 1990's, he sought solace Spain,looking up old army pals and ended up staying; eventually meeting a Spanish lady (Carmen) whom he married. She and her three sons took care of him until the big C and heart problems took him too.
A larger than life character (reached Sgt-busted to the ranks for being too tough! and rising up to WOII again), a real man's man who you would love to have by your side in times of trouble (RASC & SAS). Jim found his final resting place in the desert near Tabernas, Spain where his & pet dog charlie's ashes were scattered in 2009. Sadly missed by a loving Grand-Daughter Karen, Tony & Rosina& family of course, Carmen and her family, and other members of the English family.

Uncle Jim - one of the best!
Uncle Jim (Dennis but always Jim to us) - what a fantastic character! The most interesting member of the family ever with some fantastic stories! Never forget when I was no more than about 13 and he was a warrant officer he sneaked me and my younger brother onto Swansea barracks and let us fire rifles on the rifle range. He cooked fantastic curries too! I won't say God Bless Uncle Jim - you didn't do that religion stuff, 'once you're dead - you're dead!' you always used to say!
Love from Richard, Kim, Stacey and Ryan xxxx
