Obituary
"Many World War 2 Veterans and their Families will be sad to hear of the death on March 1st 2020 of Ronald Youngman, after several years of severe illness which he faced up to with true Commando courage.
Ronald, whose Father had been killed in action on D Day 1944, gave 45 years of devoted service to the Commando Association, beginning as Assistant to Henry Brown in the London Office, followed by the post of General Secretary and Treasurer on Henry’s retirement in 1987, until the Stand Down Parade and Service in 2005.
Following this he became Assistant Secretary to the Commandos’ Benevolent Fund, which enabled him to keep up with the many World War 2 Commandos he knew. His devotion to the D Day Commemorations and the many French Commandos he knew were paramount to the end of his life. He was assisted in all these years of Service by his beloved wife Wendy, to whom all who knew them we offer our sincere thanks and sympathy."
