THOMAS writes: — It was with much sadness that I received the news of the death, early in August, of Wally Gooders. He will be well remembered by many of the older, retired members of the Corps and especially by those who were in Malaya during the emergency period, when he was with me in Headquarters Malaya Command. His willing support, sound advice and meticulous regard for detail, were of great value and he was highly esteemed throughout the Headquarters. After my return to UK I did not meet Wally again until we both had retired, but from 1962 my wife and I have been regular visitors to the Gooders' home in Lindfield in Sussex. Mrs Peggy Gooders died some three years ago. May I, on behalf of all who knew Wally Gooders, offer sincere sympathy on his death to his daughter Vivienne and his son Charles, and assure them of the great affection with which their father is remembered.
