Death: Ronald Underwood 4225
Fred Mason reports, with regret, the death of Ronald Underwood on 31 August 2010 in Margate, South Africa. Ronald saw active service during the Second World War with the Royal Air Force and, after the war, joined the BSA Police in September 1947. He saw some service in the Midlands, before electing to move to Staff Branch. Ron was a keen tennis player and involved himself in its organisation within police circles. He retired in October 1970, while serving as Staff Officer Finance, in the rank of Chief Superintendent. Ronald was a member of the Natal Branch of the Regimental Association. Our thoughts and condolences go out to his family and friends, to whom we extend our deepest sympathy.
