John Williams (above) has been appointed Medical Officer to the

Ulster Regiment. Due to new requirements, it is vital that leaders

receive training in First Aid and we are fortunate to have John’s

services. He is District Commissioner for the St John’s Ambulance

Brigade in Northern Ireland. John is a Diocesan Reader and for

many years was an Officer with St Colman’s Company, Dunmurry.
