His final posting was to Rheindahlen, as Brigadier General Staff Intelligence of the British Army of the Rhine and Northern Army Group. He attended The Royal Military College of Science (BSc Engr), Staff College (psc) and the Joint Services Staff College (jssc). He left the Army in 1984 to join a Defence and Security Company in Jordan and London. He and his wife Sara moved up to Northamptonshire in 1987. In 1992, Sara was diagnosed as having a comparatively rare neurodegenerative disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). Details of this devastating disease and of the charity itself , which they set up together in 1994, can be found at www.pspeur.org. This was the subject of his first book, ‘Charity Begins at Home’ published in 2007. Sara died from PSP in January 1994. He continued to run the Charity until 2011. He has four sons, all married, and twelve grandchildren.view less
