TAG: Rr Adm P G V Dingemans (President 1994 to 1997)

Rear Admiral Peter Dingemans (D. 1948-52)​, Falklands DSO & former President of the OBA, has died

We are sad to report the death of Peter Dingemans, who has died in hospital at the age of 80, having contracted pneumonia. His naval career is aptly summed up in the title his book: 'My Incredible Journey: from Cadet to Commander'.

REPORT: OBA Annual Dinner 2005 - "Two Golds, a Silver and the Seldon babes"

Twenty five years is a long time but what about the 1949 PE team? They were there too and so were quite a few of those who were only yesterday (as it were) walking across the quad without a (real) care in the world. For those of us celebrating a silver anniversary of leaving the College it was for most the first time we had returned for a great many years.
