Vale Veteran Rowland "Rolly" John Ross - SAMVOZA
Sergeant in the SA Irish Regiment from 1966 - 1976
(1948 to 2024)

It is with great sadness that we must share the news of the passing of SAMVOZA Veteran Rowland "Rolly" John Ross earlier this month.
Rolly served as a Sergeant in the SA Irish Regiment from 1966 - 1976. He was part of the Hunter Training established by the SA Irish Regiment in 1968 - the forerunner of the Recces.
Veteran Godfrey Giles shared these thoughts: "I remember him during our Saturday training exercises as a gentle soul with a big heart... He served his country well; we will miss him but not forget him.
Our condolences to his family. May His Soul Rest in Peace now."
We salute you, Sgt Ross!
