It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a great man and someone we can rightly say was a big influence of over Sea Cadet Unit in the last decade and was a man who was proud to be associated to the Unit.

Our late Unit Presisdent, Admiral Hugo Hollins CB has crossed the bar and our thoughts are with his wife, Mrs Hollins and his family at this very sad time.

Members of the Milford Haven Sea Cadet Unit, including the Officer in Charge (Chief Petty Officer (SCC) Beverley Jenkins) and the previous Commanding Officer (Sub Lieutenant (SCC) William Elliott RNR) attended the funeral and provided an Unarmed Guard of Honour for the Admiral and lined the Church route.

Admiral Hollins will always be remembered at Milford Haven Sea Cadets & Royal Marines Cadets.

RIP Sir!
