Bank of the Middle East. I am sure that the large number of friends they have made during their many years with the Corps will join me in wishing Brian and Pauline a long and happy future in their retirement. J. B. A RATHER Hetorfci RETIREMENT OF B R I G A D I E R B . M . .T. A . D A L T O N , O B E BRIAN DALTON started his Army career with the Queen's Royal Regiment in 1945. He was commissioned into the Regiment in May 1946 and saw service in Egypt and Palestine, attached to RAOC for most of the time. On transferring to the Corps he was posted to the RAOC Training Centre where, in 1951, he was granted a Regular Commission. After attend- ing the 17th Ordnance Officers Course he was again posted to Egypt where he served in both Storehouse and Provision ap- pointments, followed by a period spent as DADOS Cyprus District, before returning to UK to take up another Staff ap- pointment in Headquarters Eastern Command. This was followed by yet another tour overseas, first to Gibraltar and then to 15 ABOD in BAOR before attending the IM course at Manchester University in 1962/63. SPECIAL S A L V E R A SILVER SALVER engraved with the signatures of the three Quarter-Master-Generals and four Vice-Quarter-Master-Generals to whom he has been Staff Officer since 1973 was presented to Lieutenant Colonel W. J. Scoging by General Sir Richard Worslcy the Quarter-Master-General at a recent ceremony to mark his retirement. Lieutenant Colonel Scoging enlisted in the Royal Sussex Regiment during the 1939/45 war. Wounds received during the campaign in Italy caused his transfer in 1949 to RASC in which Corps he was commissioned. He joined the RAOC following McLcod in 1965.

Brigadier Dalton present's a Trophy as Director Base Depots. His next appointment was as DADOS Headquarters Alder- shot District, which was followed by appointments in Aden and Bahrain, the latter on promotion to Lieutenant Colonel as the CRAOC responsible for setting up Ordnance Services. On returning once more to UK in 1968 he moved to Don- nington where he was to remain for over four years; first as Assistant Senior Provision Officer and later as Senior Stores Officer. It was in recognition of his work as A/SPO that he was awarded the OBE in 1971. After a short spell as SPO at Chilwell in 1972 he was given the task of setting up the Control Division of the new Central Inventory Control Point. On promotion to Brigadier in 1974 he was appointed Brigadier CSDW, latterly Director of Supply Computer Services.

During this period he also became the Hon Colonel RAOC TA Sponsored Units. In this duty as in all the others he has filled throughout his many years in the Corps, he showed his own brand of unique enthusiasm setting high standards for us all to follow. This enthusiasm and dedication remained with him to his last day of service. He has now settled with his wife and daughter in Grateley, near Andover; his son is serving overseas with The British WELCOME BACBL A TRADITIONAL but good natured rivalry has always existed between the Army and the RAF at AFCENT and Warrant Officer John Mackle, RAF, and his son Corporal John Mackle have been keeping it all in the family.
