Terry joined the Royal Lincolnshire Regiment in 1958 at Sobraon Barracks. Shortly after training he deployed with the Regiment to Malaya for two years during the Malayan Emergency. The Regiment then spent some time in Aden and England before moving to Minden in Germany.

In Minden in April 1960 Terry was on the final parade with the R. Lincolns prior to amalgamation with the Northamptonshire Regiment. Leaving the Army shortly after the final parade he rejoined civilian life where he became a successful Pig Farmer and Butcher.

Terry always looked back with fondness on his time in the Army and became a long-standing member of the Royal British Legion. In addition to this he was the Branch Chairman and Standard Bearer of the Stamford Branch of the Royal Lincolnshire and Royal Anglian Regiment Association. In his role as Standard Bearer, he attended many Regimental Days, Funerals and Freedom Parades.

Terry Browning was a generous person and a first-class supporter of the Royal Anglian Regiment and its forebear Regiments. In 2009 when the Poachers exercised the Freedom of Stamford, he visited the local hostelries and invited the patrons to donate monies to the marching soldiers, raising over £900 in the process, which was duly presented once the parade finished. He donated a bench to the 2nd Battalion which now stands in pride of place in front of the Stamford War Memorial. The large donation he made to the Royal Lincolns’ Memorial in Sobraon Park ensured that the project was successfully completed. Over the years, he would place a collection box for the Regimental Benevolent Fund in the George Hotel in Stamford, which returned a steady stream of funds to the Regiment. Terry attended various Regimental Battlefield Tours where he enjoyed having a drink and interacting with the serving soldiers who were also on the tours.

Terry’s Funeral took place at Peterborough Crematorium on the 10th November which saw a great turn out of old comrades and friends. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
