Colonel Geoffrey Morgan OBE OStJ DL died after a short illness on the 11th December 2018. Col. Geoffrey, late Indian Army, Essex Regiment and Royal Anglian Regiment, was a great supporter of everything Essex.

He served for many years as the Chairman of the Regimental Chapel Committee, was the long-standing President of the Essex Regiment Association, and was linked to numerous other charitable organisations in Essex, for which he was awarded the OBE.

His Funeral Service and Burial at his beloved St. Mary’s Church. Great Leighs, where Geoffrey was Church Warden, was well attended by members of the many organisations that Geoffrey was involved with, and in particular Royal Anglians and former Essex Regiment members.

Amongst many recollections, he is remembered as the Deputy Honorary Colonel for 3 (Essex) Company 5 R ANGLIAN in the Eighties. The Company was well represented.
