SASRA is saddened by the recent loss of our longest standing Vice President, Maj Gen (Retd) Revd Richard Morgan Llewellyn CB OBE, after a short battle with cancer. Revd Morgan became a SASRA Council member in 1987, while still serving, having come to faith late in his military career.
In 1996, five years after retiring from the Army, and by then an ordained minister in the Church of England, he became a Vice President of the Association and remained in appointment until his recent call to glory.

Condolences have been sent from the Association to his wife Elizabeth (Polly) and their five children. Following a recent telephone call with Revd Morgan, SASRA’s Executive Director Lt Col (Retd) Dr Martin Gliniecki QGM commented:
I am grateful to have had a little time talking to Revd Llewellyn on the telephone recently, and was honoured that he felt able to share the sad news of his terminal illness with me, and while terribly saddened by it, I also felt inspired by his peace and the trust he had placed in the Lord’s hands — it was very, very encouraging. I thanked him for being a Vice President, for his love of and prayers for the Association and its mission, and all while suffering.
