Colin James Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 I am very saddened to learn that SAS hero and legend John "Brummie' Stokes has died. ONE of the most famous members of Hereford's SAS regiment has died. John 'Brummie' Stokes helped to make the elite unit famous on an international scale after climbing Everest in the 1970s. The soldier, who received an MBE, was also well known for his work with the Taste for Adventure centre in Credenhill RIP Brummie. Quote
Frank Smith Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 This is very sad news. I have just read the HT tribute. Quote
H.Wilson Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 I remember when he climbed Everest. Rest in peace Quote

Alex Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 It has been a sad day, Brummie Stokes and David Bowie both legends in their own right passing away, may they both rest in peace. Quote
Mick Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 RIP Brummie you were a legend among legends. Quote
Colin James Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Posted January 14, 2016 There is a lovely tribute to Brummie here Quote
Colin James Posted January 15, 2016 Author Report Posted January 15, 2016 Brummie's obituary is in the Telegraph. Funeral tomorrow at Hereford Cathedral Quote
DILLIGAF Posted January 15, 2016 Report Posted January 15, 2016 Had the pleasure of TFAC week with B&B early 90s, both legends and the campfire stories - unbelievable, but believable as it was those two telling them in first person accounts, knowing who they are and what they endured, why would they make a story up?! Always Remembered. Quote
