‘Captain M. H. Carden, who retired from the army on 10 December 1960, was commissioned into the Regiment from Sandhurst on 14 July 1949. He joined the 1st Battalion at Gottingen, BAOR, and served with the Battalion throughout three years, which the battalion spent in Malaya in operations against Communist Terrorists, for the next year at Bulford Camp, Wiltshire, and for the first year of the Battalion’s tour of Duty in BAOR at Iserlohn, Early in 1956 he was seconded to the Royal West African Frontier Force and posted to the 1st Battalion the Nigeria Regiment at Enugu, Nigeria.
In 1957 he was appointed Adjutant, 1st Battalion the Nigeria Regiment then stationed at Kaduna, Nigeria and he held this appointment until the termination of his secondment to the RWAFF in 1960. We wish him every success and good fortune in the future....
Of Brecon, on 21 August 1995 [died], Commissioned into the Worcestershire Regiment in 1949, he joined the 1st Battalion in BAOR, serving with it throughout the tour in Malaya as a rifle platoon commander and latterly as Motor Transport Officer, at Bulford and in Iserlohn.

In 1955 he was posted to 1st Battalion the Queen’s Own Nigeria Regiment, serving with it for five years as Company 2nd in Command, then as Adjutant and finally Company Commander. As the adjutant he was required to be mounted on ceremonial parades, no great horseman, after the Feu de Joie on the 1957 Queen’s Birthday Parade he found himself in the middle of the 4th Battalion Colour Party!
In 1961 he left the Army and worked in Sierra Leone before returning to the UK to work for Thorp EMI.
Mike will be remembered for his quiet efficiency, his politeness, his dry wit, his loyalty and his good fellowship at some great parties. His funeral took place in Brecon Cathedral on 25 August, the Regiment being represented by Major and Mrs L. N. Barron.’
In later life Captain Carden had resided at 2 Alexander Road, Brecon, Powys.
