Today Sgt Ben Halligan died
Ben was a Sgt in the 2 Cav and mad about cavalry and bikes- the 2 Cav web site was set up by Ben, Ben's oter appointment was chief instructor in the BTC Computer training centre
To a hell of a lot of people in the Eastern Brigade, Ben was the person who taught them how to use a computer, Me included, his lessons were fun and so was he, I never once saw him loose his temper or even raise his voice, Ben was one of those rare breed of NCO's that acheived his will by force of personality,
Ben had time for everyone and everyting, he and Joe Scan would help out anyone with computer problems, half the time you couldnt beleive him, he was involved in that many wind ups, but he always would help
Ben would come in the dining hall and tell the corniest jokes imaginable, he never sat still and had an amazing zest for life, he seeed to have an interest in everybody,
I can genuinely say he was respected and liked by all from Pte's to General's.
CAthal Brugha barracks is going to be a duller place without him, I extend my sympathies to his family and to his freinds, his outside the CTC tea buddies, Dano, Joe K and his 2 I/C Joe Scan,
A Lot of people on here will have never heard of Ben, but spare a thought and think of something funny, and that was Ben
God Bless Ben
