We’re deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of Lance Corporal Bryn Jenkins of the Royal Welsh Regiment. At just 24, Bryn was on leave when he passed away at home in Cardiff earlier this December.
An inquest has revealed his tragic death was due to hanging. Known as an adventurous and thoughtful soul, Bryn was a vibrant part of the Delta (Fire Support) Company in the British Army, stationed at Lucknow Barracks, Tidworth. His unique nickname ‘Bryn Diesel’ was a testament to his enthusiasm and spirit.
Tributes have poured in celebrating his life and service, recognising him as a highly capable soldier and a cherished friend. A talented sniper and warrior driver, he made an indelible impact on his unit, and his loss is keenly felt by all who knew him. His former Platoon Commander, Captain Ed Wills-Wood, described him as a source of endless humour who left a lasting impression on everyone around him.
Our heart goes out to his family, friends, and all those who served alongside him. Rest in peace, Bryn. You will be missed, but never forgotten. 🌹
