From the Class of 1973 website:

“Advice from Gino in the West is that Gerry Berson died last month on 9 Oct. He was 83. Gerry was one of our embedded Drillies at Pt Hut. I recall him retreating to the confines of the Staff Lines muttering “I need a cup of tea, a bex and a nice lie down after trying to instil some sense of military drill into you lot” – or words to that effect. I think he was also reported to say, as he stood on the hill overlooking the makeshift parade Ground, “I feel like JC preaching to the multitude”. Gerry served with 1 Fd Regt in SVN prior to his RMC posting and was RSM 1 Fd Regt 78-81. He was later commissioned and finished his military career as a Major. RIP Gerry.”
