The Brigadier was the last Commanding </B></div> <div> <B>Officer of 36 Heavy Air Defence Regiment and a great supporter </B></div> <div> <B>of the 36 Regiment Reunions. </B></div> <div> <B>We send all our sympathy to his family.</B></div> <div> <B>R.I.P.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The following is Obituary from 'The Gunner'</B></div> <bR> <div> Brig PRF (Peter) Painter was bom in Calcutta India in 1936 and sailed</div> <div> to the UK with his parents in September 1939 in the Cunard ship,Capetown Castle,</div> <div> which was sunk on its return voyage. His father joined the Royal Gloucestershire</div> <div> Hussars and served in North Africa and NW Europe. </div> <div> The family settled in the south of England.</div> <bR> <div> Having passed the Civil Service Examination for the Armed Services,</div> <div> Peter Painter enlisted as a private soldier in the East Surrey Regt, before going to</div> <div> Sandhurst in 1955.He was commissioned into the Royal Artillery in December 1956</div> <div> and joined 39 Hy Regt R A, equipped with 7.2-inch Howitzers and the US N44 155mm</div> <div> Gun.The regiment was almost immediately sent on an operational tour to Cyprus to</div> <div> deal with Greek Cypriot terrorists led by 'General' Grivas and actively encouraged</div> <div> by Archbishop Makarios. Cyprus was followed by the first of several </div> <div> tours in West Germany as part of the British Army of the Rhine. </div> <bR> <div> Still with 39 Regt, he was the CPO of the battery which</div> <div> fired the first Honest John (nuclear) Rocket at Hohne in 1961. His first experience</div> <div> of anti-aircraft artillery came when he attended the Long Gunnery Staff Course</div> <div> at the School of AAA at Manorbier and subsequently joined the staff of a </div> <div> TA Air Defence Brigade in London.The latter was equipped with the </div> <div> Thunderbird I Missile system and Bofors guns.</div> <bR> <div> In 1966 he was posted to 94 Loc Regt RA in BAOR, where he was Adjutant for</div> <div> almost three years. From 94 Regt he went to the Staff College,Camberley and thence</div> <div> to Hong Kong as SO2 (Operations). Later Painter took command of a light</div> <div> air defence battery which had radar controlled Bofors guns, again in BAOR.</div> <bR> <div> After a year, he became second-in-command for two further years. The 1974 Defence</div> <div> Review was in progress when he went to Headquarters 6 Armd Bde to monitor the trial</div> <div> of the new style ('wide horizon') battle group, and subsequently wrote the report which</div> <div> successfully proved that you cannot operate battle groups from divisional headquarters</div> <div> without a brigade level of command in between.</div> <bR> <div> He was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel in December 1975, and given command </div> <div> of 36 Hy AD Regt RA, which included 10 (Assaye) Bty RA. During his tour he took the regiment to Northern Ireland, his third operational tour, and successfully completed the last firing of a Thunderbird II guided missile before the regiment disbanded in January 1978. </div> <div> It was at this time that he unsuccessfully tried to persuade the hierarchy of the Royal Artillery</div> <div> to allow 36 Regt RA to wear the Syrena badge of the Polish 2nd Division, awarded to the regiment's predecessors by Gen Anders in Italy in 1944. The application was refused on</div> <div> the grounds that honors are only recognised for batteries and not regiments in the </div> <div> Royal Artillery.</div> <bR> <div> Following command of 36 HY AD Regt RA, Painter was the principle staff officer to</div> <div> two Directors Royal Artillery at Woolwich and, on promotion to colonel in 1980, he</div> <div> became Chief Instructor Guided Weapons, which included anti aircraft and anti-tank</div> <div> disciplines, at the Royal School of Artillery Larkhill. This was followed by a tour as</div> <div> Commander Air Defence Artillery UK in 1983 and Colonel PB6 in 1986. It was while</div> <div> in this appointment that he re-opened the issue of Syrena, and this time successfully</div> <div> persuaded the Royal Artillery (and the Army Board) to approve the wearing of the </div> <div> Syrena badge by l0(Assaye)Bty RA, by then the last remaining battery of 36 Regt.</div> <div> The rest is history as they say!</div> <bR> <div> His last appointment in the Army was Commander Royal Artillery Range</div> <div> Hebrides, where the air-defence weapons of all three services were fired. He served</div> <div> as Regimental Secretary of the Royal Artillery and Staff  Officer to the Master</div> <div> Gunner based in Woolwich, f rom 1991 to 1999, looking after the heritage, property</div> <div> and private funds of the regiment, after which he retired.</div> <bR> <div> Peter John Forbes Painter died suddenly on 9 April 2009.</div> <bR> <div> He married Tanis Sawyer in 1965.They had three children, Marcus, Shoo and</div> <div> Charlie, and five grandchildren Freddie, Oscar,  Imogen , Polly and Alex, </div> <div> all of whom survive him.</div> <div> A service of thanksgiving for the life of Brig Peter Painter will take place at the </div> <div> Larkhill Garrison Church, starting at 2.30pm on</div> <div> Friday 29 May 2009.
