Born in Dundee in 1946 to parents William and Jessie, Stan was the youngest of four children. He went to school at Saint Margaret’s and Stobbie boys. Like many a Dundee lad he worked on the milkruns while at school and on leaving school at various jobs before joining the Army. He joined the Royal Engineers but didn’t enjoy it so transferred to the Royal Scots Greys and remained with The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards on amalgamation. Stan was posted to Germany and from there he saw service in Northern Ireland where sadly the driver of his Saracen was killed in 1972. Stan should have been in the Saracen that day but he was on rest and recreation at the time. While serving mainly in Germany and going on exercise to Libya and Canada, Stan was also posted to Edinburgh, Catterick and the Recruiting Office in Dundee. Stan became B Squadron Sergeant Major in which role he was well thought of by officers and men. A letter to Muriel subsequent to his death spoke of his mentoring skills and of how caring and kind he was to the young officers and from him they learned their trade.
