Cenotaph Remembrance Soldier

A memorial to a soldier named Gary Golbey wreaths lie after Remembrance Sunday at the Cenotaph in London's Whitehall, on 12th November 2019, in London, England. A Gulf War veteran who developed a brain tumour but went back on active service had died, aged 42. Colour Sergeant Gary Golbey, originally from Kidsgrove, was taken ill in 2005 when he was part way through his second tour of service in Iraq. But he fought back from his illness to return to the army while in remission. The champion Army boxer spent more than two decades with the Staffords – now 3 Mercian – and saw active service in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Iraq, where he completed two tours of duty.
