SCHRANZ writes: — The sad news of the loss of Corporal Cryan at the early age of twenty eight after a short illness, was a great shock to all of us in the Unit and to his many friends in the Corps. Corporal Cryan, a Petroleum Operator, joined 85 Supply Depot in September 1976. His proficiency in his trade and his dedication to his work gained him the respect of his fellow tradesmen. The loss of his expertise will certainly be felt in this small Unit. We offer our most sincere sympathy to his wife Susan and her two young children. ®jje Cbttac's! Notice* Editor: COLONEL E.
