It is my sad duty to advise all Gunners that a previous Battery Commander of 48th Field Battery, Major Ian Adlam, passed away on 31st March 2004, following a major (and disabling) illness over the last seven years.  48th Field Battery was well represented at Ian's funeral service by present and past members, including a past Battery Commander, Major Geoff Robertson, who provided a heart-felt summary of Ian's service. Ian commanded 48th Field Battery for nearly three years from 1st July 1987 to 22nd January 1990. Ian's presence among us has been, and will in the future be sadly missed, and our sincere condolences go out to his wife, June, and their family. ‘Stand Easy’ Ian.
